Get the Rega or Pro-Ject Xpression with Goldring 1012 or 1042 cartridge and read nothing more at this point.
ANALOG HELP
Wow, this is overwhelming all the options and arms and catridges!!! so is there a book or something to read and get a better understanding of this type of system? I am thinking either rega p3 or I was told the marantz tt15 is a good table. as a beginner i assume its best to buy a complete table because it seems like it would be easy to buy a arm or something that didnt work for a particular table. What about cartidges are they designed for certain types of music? how do you know?
