I backup the suggestions for a PS Audio GCPH. I use one with a Clearaudio Emotion (old version, no CMB) and a Grado Sonata1 Reference. The combination is extremely enjoyable. You should probably consider what type of sound you like too before getting a cartridge, as the sound character varies greatly between brands/models. My Grado Sonata1 gives you a very lush, beautiful midrange, where tone and timbre are the top priorities.
Looking to get back into Vinyl.
hello everyone,
I'm just getting back into HiFi after a couple of years in the wilderness. I'm looking to add what I suppose wil be a mid range TT combination. Reading through the press I was thinking of a clearaudio concept or a VPI Classic. I've had a Gyrodec(sme V) previously and enjoyed it immensely and I have 1000+ LP's that I'm looking forward to digging back out. So reccomendations for :
1. Turntable and arm around $2000
2. Cartridge around $500
3. Cheapish Phono stage that'll work with my AM-77 $500
I'm happy to buy second hand, in fact thats probably my preference as I'll be able to get more performace for my money.
Looking forward to hearing your suggestions.... please feel free to reccommend one compopnant or all three.
Thanks guys.
