I would go even cheaper at this point in time. I would go for a VPI HW-19 mark? or a Music hall MF-7 table. The reasoning behind the picks. They are easy tables to set up without pulling out your hair. the pre can be something again simple such as an Adcom GPS 565. There built well and the phone stage is tops. I will leave the cartridge to others since I don't listen to enough of them to give you a strong opinion.This will leave you with plenty of cash in pocket and with an excellent front end and preamp to boot.
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.
