Rega Planar 2 or Planar 3, maybe used for $500. What gets pricy is a good moving coil pick up. After using moving coils I would never go back to moving magnet design, with the exception of the better grados. I like Benz Micro, but there are countless others. Yes, above post correct, you will need a really good preamp with phono equalization, like a Klyne, or separate outboard phono unit like benz pp1 or countless others. To stay under $500, gee that's tough.. maybe used Rega 2 with grado (watch out for hum) and used threshold/forte 2 (for 200-300$) pre.??
My first Turntable... need some suggestions please
I am in the market for my first turntable... to try the analog, tube setup.. My preamp is an Audio Research ls7 and amp is a sonic frontiers sfs 80 with a krell kav 300 cd player and mirage m 490is speakers... cables are alpha core mi series and other custom interconnects and power cables..
I would like a turntable for entry into analog... price under 500... any suggestions... this is a second tube/analog system..
