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

Yes.  Absolutely.  Great sound and the joy of collection new and old albums.  Nothing I like better than spending $8 on ebay or discogs for a near perfect 40 0r 50 year old LP.  

I started seven years ago with a Basis 2500 table and a Dynavector MC cartridge.  It sounded so much richer than my  Esoteric X-03se I have virtually not played digital at home since.

You are approaching this the right way.

From all this fodder and nonsense, if anything realize this.... opinions are biased so find your own bias. You can't be wrong with what's right for you, but can always be wrong when you preach what's right for everyone else. Avoid generalized statements like the narrow minded ones on unipivot arms, as there are always exceptions to the rules and or the opinions of others. Some prefer an SME arm others a Graham unipivot. Nobodies wrong if they like what they have. They become daft and wrong when they don't like what you have and constantly remind you ad nauseum why thier choice would be better for you. If a dealer knocked everyone else's product and praised only his own lines, would his word really be in arguably always correct, yet alone trusted as a fits all no exceptions end .......
Listen and go with your ears and your gut on sound and comfort of price and use....4U
Enjoy....we're only here for one trip....

Well looks like vinyl lost another one, good more albums for me to play on my far inferior VPI unipivot arms.  Yea

If you have 25 albums if it were me I wouldn't spend thousands on hardware not even knowing if I wanted to pursue it.  Just common sense I think.
Just get a decent phono stage if you don't  have one, an entry level turntable made by a reputable manufacturer,  spin clean washing system (I know its a manual set up but it really works).
For phono stages I like the musical fidelity entry level preamps they have plenty of gain and you don't have to fiddle with them a lot.
If you decide you like it then reinvest later once you know what you are getting into.

It’s a chicken or egg scenario.  Do you build up a record collection and the buy a good table, or buy a good table and then build up your record collection?
