Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS.
No way!!! Aren't used records beat up though? That's why I bought a 3 thousand record cleaner. I like my vinyl as quiet as digital. I got it right now pretty close. I have only been buying new records

So now my 4 thousand dollar analog budget has come to the purchase of  2 turntables for 4500 bucks, 1 cartridge for 1200 a record cleaning machine for 3 thousand. I own 100 records now.  
Which vintage amp would you keep? Mark Levinson No 23.5 or Krell 400cx?
The krell 400cx is ten years newer than the 23.5 but I think the Krell has micro processing for bias that may not be able to be repaired if it breaks. So I was wondering which of these old amps would you hold onto.

Which amp is most reliable and wont break. Of those 2 amps which one would hold its value more.

Bought the VPI as well and going back and forth the old VPI Scoutmaster SMOKES the REGA RP10. Going to see if I can exchange the Rega for a DAC. The VPI is WAY more quiet. NOW there is bass in the music. The arm sucks though. Very wobbly and unsta... 
Pure Class A SS vs Tube Amp
Used Krell 400cx. Because you can never have enough power.

Love the old stuff!!! My Krell 400cx, Mark Levinson 23.5 and Jeff Rowland Model 1 all sound wonderful!!! All are serviced and might be as good as any solid state gear made today.

No harm no foul goners. I have greatly appreciated all your input into this endeavor.  All your opinions are sound ones backed up by fact not fiction. This is not an inexpensive hobby and your inputs have helped me tremendously. High end Audio is ...

I have forgotten more than all of you will ever know about high end audio. I started in the late 80's as a high end audio salesman for 2 different stores representing the names of VANDERSTEEN, KRELL, CONRAD JOHNSON, APPOGEE, AUDIO RESEARCH, MCINTO...

It was a tough call. With the VPI you can do SO many upgrades to the table. You do have full adjustment of the arm. Plus it's a substantial table. Big and heavy. It looks and sounds expensive. The REGA RP10 is everything opposite the VPI. It's sma...

Again Chakster its obvious you do your high end audio purchases at Best Buy.  A sincere good luck to you and a possible re-evaluation of your psych medication.

They can get soundsmith too. My current preamp a Parasound Halo P7 has a switch for moving coil but that doesnt mean I might not try a very good MM. I am in a small condo with Martin logan Esl9 and 2 REL S5/10 SUBS. I moving a lot of air in a smal...
