Help Me Build a Vinyl System

Nice system! How about staying with "Made in the USA" precedent of your other gear and picking up a VPI Classic and the new Parasound phono pre-amp?

You don't give a budget. So a good phono cable which you will need is a Seabreeze or Hovland MusicGroove2. Both can sometimes be found used. An entry level pro-ject, rega or similar turntable is a good start. Later when you know more that this is an area you wish to delve further into you will have learned the basics and be ready to go where only fools or music lovers dare to go. Mostly vinyl listener here.

No problem.

Please just send me the money that you want to spend, and I will gladly pick you out an analog source system, (including a nice selection of vinyl for you to play), and send it to you as soon as I have it bought and tested.

Given your system, I suggest about $10K as a good starting figure. (Oh, and please include the additional funds for shipping and insurance though!)

;-)

I'd suggest a Well Tempered Amadeus. Less fiddly than many turntables, and all one package of turntable and tonearm. Great reviews all over.
