TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog
I want to start into high end analog but I just don't get it.
I am confused with all this "belt drive/direct drive", MC for this or that, some guys fighting for Rega...one of you guys is a 'SELF PROCLAIMED EVANGELIST' about the DJ turntable!
What is reality anyway? Do I have to get a DJ turntable and modify it? If I buy a Rega I'd have to modify it, too...right? There's a counter weight, new wires, rings for VTA, you name it.
What about 'turntables for classical' or 'turntables for rock and roll'? What is this? What about the Star Trek turntable?
Is there a way to just buy something and enjoy?
Any suggestions in a couple of price ranges (new--I don't want to hear how you found in a garage sale this $3000 turntable for $150), say in the $300-600 and $800-1500 ranges?
Thanks and please bear with me.
