Just for kicks check out Tone Publications free e-mag issue no 24 (Google it). It's a great read and the photos are nothing short of fantastic. There is a ton in there about getting back into analog/vinyl this issue.
Coaching wanted on how to get back into vinyl
I could really use some advice on how best to get back into vinyl at the vinyl 101 stage. I have a Bryston BP20 preamp which does not have any phono inputs and I am now kicking myself for not choosing the BP which had the phono stage option. Do I sell this preamp and start over with the other one? Is there an alternative while keeping my present preamp? I run twin Bryston 3B NRB power amps and a set of KEF 103.2 which I like very much. I will also need a turntable which I will focus on later but would like that issue considered while makng these decisions ie MM or MC. This might sound basic to many of you, but we all start somewhere! I don't have to stick with Bryston but would prefer it. Any input is appreciated.
