I would find a friend with a good analog front end and try out in your system. You don't have to invest a ton of money in TT,arm,cartridge and phono pre but $1,000 is not going to do it. More importantly getting your analog front end to perform up to its capabilities takes alot of education and time and you have to enjoy the process. I converted to anolog about two years ago and rarely listen to CD anymore.
turntable recommendations for a vinyl newbie...
Hello,
As some of you might know, I have invested megabucks into digital audio - now being finally satisfied with my custom Audio Note DAC + PWT transport... So I am curious as to how vinyl may compare... I know, I know, but I want to hear for myself in my own system.
So, I am interested in a turntable set up that will be fairly competitive against my Audio Note digital front end, yet will not be expensive (incase I bail) - in other words used.
I have a Micro Seiki DD-40 in mind - would this work? or is there something else that would sound better for around the sub $1000 mark used???
remember, at this point, I know little about TT. and I plan on connecting to my Atma-Sphere pre...
thank you
