Look for a Philips GA-212 or 312 on Ebay with a decent cartridge. I would recommend the MA-2002e cartridge. Check out the seller's reliability through feedback and no. of transactions. You should get 90% there for about 350 bucks or less. For decent vinyl, check out TAS, Stereophile R2D4, and Arthur Salvatore's supreme recordings lists.
Trying to get in to vinyl, turntable suggestions?
Hello All,
After hearing some great analog setups I've got the itch. My Integra dtc 9.8 does have a phono input, but I plan to get a phono stage down the road, that I could connect to my Anthem Pre 2l SE.
In the meantime, any suggestions to get me started...I'm looking for a good turntable that could benefit down the road from upgrades as I get more money.
I'm hoping to spend less than 500 for the TT, and then willing to purchase a cartridge seperately if I have to.
I've read good things about thorens and the nad 533. What about the technics sl-1200? I'm looking to buy used for now.
I listen to a lot of Dave Matthews Band, Pink Floyd, some Paul Simon..Jack Johnson..
Any thoughts?
I've linked my system below hopefully did it right..
