I’m a BIG fan of clearaudio products. The concept Turntable can be factory ordered with the arm and cartridge of choice properly aligned! It’s basically plug and play! If you plan to “abuse” your cartridge by playing uncleaned records, you do not want the MC cartridge. But if you want to get the most from your turntable, you DO want the MC cartridge option. The satisfy arm is good! It deserves a decent cart. ($2800 for the satisfy/concept MC option.) The concept turntable performs above its pay grade. Clearaudio also has an entry level phono amp that can be ordered with a headphone Jack (about $800.) Spend some dough on a reallllly nice headphone set if that’s how you will listen. Some amps also have a phono amp built into it. So, it’s possible to find one amp with a phono amp and decent headphones amp, thus an all in one option.
Arcam has some very “musical” home theater amps that have earphone Jack and can be ordered with a phono amp option. I think they have about 120 watts per channel which should adequately drive most speakers. But there are lots of amps in the $750-1500 price range that can sound decent. I’d suggest taking an album you know really well, take your headphones with you also, and try out some amps with a clearaudio table set up like you want. Clearaudio tends to be neutral, not “warm” but detailed. So finding an amp to give you your desired “warmth” can be accomplished by talking with your dealer and then listening live before you buy.
Finally, PLEASE do not abuse your cartridge and your vinyl by playing it dirty. At least buy a spin clean record cleaner and fluid. It will get the gross dirt out and will save you needing a second wand/cart set up! And it will reduce the pops and wear on the records.
Happy shopping!
