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.

Your P7 has an excellent phonostage capable of handling a low-output mc cartridge. No need to change it!

Unfortunately that's the only arm that comes with the SCOUTMASTER.  JMW MEMORIAL TONEARM.  Unipivot offers less friction. Follows the grooves better. Superior sound. Bearings add friction and you lose detail.
