70’s rock pressings. Witch equipment deserve?

@Baylinor 

 I’m about to take the plunge to LP’s too

I’m interested in the Puffin comment ?

Is the Puffin is as good as the Moon phono pre ?
Why don’t you play them all on the Lyra  set up?

sorry for all the questions ?   I’ve been temped by the Puffin , but all the anolog guys say to stay 100% analog if you’re going lp

I have found that a second amp and preamp, of the same model as the main ones,  to drive the subs allows these old records to sound much batter than any device that costs much more than necessary for even a tiny improvement.

Technics are great turntables. Their tonearms are not nearly as good as the turntable is! The same goes for their platter pads.

1.- buy yourself a nice vintage MM cartridge from the same era with Line Contact type stylus (avoid spherical/conical or elliptical). 

I would regard this statement as entirely false! The cutting stylus used on any stereo LP is the same today as it was in 1958. Newer stylus used in brand-new cartridges work just fine if they are set up right. Vintage cartridges OTOH are risky and lower performance (cartridges have made improvements in the last 50 years...); but in particular they will need a new stylus to work properly!

Every time you up grade you hope at least your system  will sound better. BACK in the 70s I used a Technics SL1350 with a Shure V-15 cart. Now I have a Nad c588 with a orton blue.i still have vinyl to play and I love prog.It sounded great then and still does.

so tell me, from which witch did you buy this stuff?
