Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS.


Should I pursue analog? Invest maybe 3 or 4 grand in a table and start buying records? Some stuff sounds really good on Vinyl but it's an expensive endeavor and NEW records aren't cheap. Plus thos pops and noise and a lot of setup required. Love the vintage aspect of it. Some records sound truly amazing on a really good table and cartridge. Take the plunge? Or buy a better DAC and dont look back!!! Lol.

I have kicked VPI to the curb unless someone on here gives me a compelling reason to grab this SCOUTMASTER with JMW VALHALLA UNIPIVOT ARM for 1500 bucks without a cartridge.  The Acosutic signature primus at 2300 bucks comes with a bad cartridge but I can upgrade it in time. The REGA RP8 for 2 grand is a contender now but didnt know they used foam in the plinth. That may be a big issue. Once I get a setup I can just see myself immediately running to the record store and dropping 2 grand on new vinyl.  Oh wait, that will only buy me 50 records. Lol
Fairly certain my VPI dealer would tell you the Scoutmaster is one of the best tables they've ever made short of an Aries or HRX. Personally, I'd take a Scoutmaster over the AS Primus. Its AS equivalent would probably be closer to the Wow XL or Triple X. 

I do like the Rega sound though. I wouldn't be afraid to buy one from Music Direct because any quality issues are likely to come up within the first 60 days of ownership anyway. That's true of most gear IME.
 Yeah, just saw Music Direct advertising REGA RP8 FOR 2 GRAND!!! Just read about this table. Wow!!! Haven't heard it but everyone raves about it. This might be it!!!!
