Beginning the Analog Adventure

So I recently moved into a new appartment (and will revise my system accordingly soon) and just hooked up my music hall 2.1 again and it sounds better than ever, well everything in my new room sounds sooo much better...but really what hit me is that I want to move more into the analog direction as my system evolves.

so the question is where I go. right now I have a Music Hall 2.1 tt and rega phono stage running to my krell HTS as a preamp (in preamp mode) and then to krell mono's

I'm going to buy a bunch more vinyl either way, but should I upgrade my phono stage and TT now...and if so what should I look at.

thinking a price range of 500 to 1000 and am very willing to purchase used.

thanks for the input...my hi-fi store dosen't deal too much with analog

This will not be what you want to hear, but: If you like the sound you're hearing in your new room, live with everything for a while longer, save some more money and then buy in the $2-3,000 range. In that price range you'll be able to substantially improve on your Music Hall and have a front end that will satisfy you for a good bit longer than making the small interim upgrade now.

Whatever way you go, glad to hear you'll be purchasing more vinyl!

I second the advice above: Wait & meanwhile play with yr present rig. Improvements are plentiful when you optimise the cartridge loading and the signal transimission from TT to pre.
THEN, go for upgrades (that will invariably include a phono stage -- maybe Krell has s/thing on offer?).
