Thanks for your help. After the two days of driving many miles, many tables, and some serious budget adjustment. I ended up with a Nottingham Hyperspace/Spacearm and a Dynavector- 17d2 MKII. Setup was very easy and the table is playing. After adjusting my budget to almost 5K, I hope this will be my last analog rig. I will post a review after break-in and I spend some time with it. Again thanks for your time.
Return to analog
Hi All,
I am making the return to analog after several years. I owned an LP12 for 8 years. I sold it about 2 1/2 years ago. I loved the "Linn Sound", however I hated the fact that it was "tweaky". I would like to find something that can come close to the Linn in pace and rythem, but is easier to set-up and maintain. I listen to a Rega P9 and P25 and was not impressed, the MMF-7 was better, but it was still not really close to what I'm looking for. I am considering something from VPI, Basis, or Sota. My budget is around $1800 for the table and arm, I'll worry about a cartridge after I settle on a table and arm. I am not set on these brands, I am open to all suggestions. Thanks.
