Before getting a TT, do you have a stable place to put it? I have springy floors and I couldn't survive without a wall shelf. Personally, if I were buying a tt right now and had some money, I might consider the new Technics 1200. If I didn't have much and just wanted to get my feet wet again, I would probably try a Music Hall 7 - comes shipped pretty much ready to go with a decent cartridge installed for about $1500. Not a bad tt at all and you can sell it later on if you want to upgrade.
Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening
I'm reeducating myself.... after years of no TT and focusing on just stereo listening.. I had a some early Klipsch Hersey’s and some GENESIS speakers pair with Yamaha receiver and low end turntable 30-40 years ago -- I can afford a higher end setup this days -- so what are thoughts on pairing a luxman l-550axII with Klipsch cornwalls?
I like the Herseys for music in the day.. cornwalls seem to be larger herseys but may well need audtion some of the tower types folks seem to tout..
I still thinking on TT -- but may get a VPI scout or prime -- thinking through the cartridge choices and other things is still a serious education -- recc?
music taster are varied -- jazz to singer vocalist miles davis - linda Ronstadt and a host of others for vocal musics and instruments- soft rock of the 70-80s- to some classical
thoughts -- looking to 15-20K for the refit for stereo listening - but could stretch some if I like the setup
