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.

@ubrerwaltz,

And with your statement of the truth, may we are we surrender to you the final words. 🤗
cackster-I fully agree with you.  DD is a standard in disc cutting and DD can be equal to BD.  

As to the $5000 HRX, if it is sold with the upgraded platter and an SDS unit, yes, it's still a great TT.  If it includes a decent arm such as my SME IV, it's a steal.  Just get a good isolation platform like my Townsend Seismic Sink to obtain maximum sound quality (my VPI TNT VI is very similar to an HRX).
@uberwaltzI think you need to see the context as to why Jeff posted what he did. Maybe he got tired of the dogmatic opinions of those who make like they have all the knowledge on this board. I know I get tired of it. There are good belt drives & good Direct drives. I do not believe in the impossibilities....but the  improbable. Most of the time it comes down to $$$.

I disagree -
Most of the time it comes down to setup.


Jeffvegas - did you ever get that big Krell into your apt. ?

the Op title taken at face value.

the reality is IMO that if an Audiophile is listening to his gear - Turntable, and everything downstream, the stand, the furniture, the room.
He... she.... then only needs maybe 6 records.

Its a vibration resonance hobby....everything matters with vinyl.
