thanks for all the input fellas, lots to ponder! as I said before economy is crucial as I have less then 300 in my entire system as it is, so a 300$ experiment would raise the wifes eyebrows a bit to high for comfort! I dont know why but it is very alluring, the idea of listening to 50's and 60's jazz on a record player just seems like it would be awesome! But if it sounds like poo compared to the cd version because of the equipment, I might just sell the whole system and get a tube headphone amp to plug my grados into! lol ive been know to be an idiot at times!
thinking of trying vinyl
hello all, Ive been thinking about getting into records and turntables for awhile now, and after finding a really cool record store with all these old jazz albums cheap, im thinking about making the jump. But I do have some holdups. I have a very economy minded system that consists of b&w 602 s2 bookshelf speakers-a 90's rotel 30 watt integrated with phono,and a sony sacd player. Thats it, so i dont think my system would do a brand new pro-ject table much justice. But I also dont want to buy an old piece of junk. Any suggestions on a turntable that would "fit" with what i have? Also is the sound going to make me cringe since im using low ball equipment? Just trying to figure out if its worth the journey.
