First table, second cartridge, ...
Welcome to the world of vinyl. We can all give you advice but only your ears can tell you what you like. As for the phono stage different cartridges need to be driven differently so some thing that allows you to change on the fly I believe is nece... 
Its not vinyl
I agree mostly with @dancub. I am a music lover first my journey start at age 14 when I bought my first LP that was in 1967 (Disraeli Gears). Over the many years since I have accumulated over 3000 and still own the first. I got into hi-end audio i...

inexpensive streaming setup
Sorry I was not clear I currently stream Tital and local files from my Hiby R6 and it plug into my preamp. I would like to move to a desktop device that I can control remotely like an Blusesound Node. It needs to be Tital compatible and be a recei...
