yes a VPI HW-19 mk iii or iv is the bomb easy to work on solid great prices
Spend my $1000 on a turntable
Friends,
I gaze at at about 60 dirty records, a Cambridge Audio 540P mm phono pre amp and a slightly broken Technics SL-1210 MK2 (1 channel is bad). I rewired the arm and replaced the inter connects, it might be the ortofon pro s cartridge. I’m faced with buying a cleaning system (cheap) and inner sleeves and fixing the technics and selling it (+-$600). Add about $400 brings me to $1000.
My girlfriend (read wife) wants a Red turntable and so here I am. I am leaning toward the new Rega P3 with Ortofon Red or should I get Rega P2, Ortofon Blue and maybe a new phono pre amp? Project makes Red tables but I’ve only heard mixed things.
What would you do with $1000?
Typically Tidal high res streams to a bluesound vault 2 Out via coax into Dynaudio Focus 30 XD. It

This red Music Hall should make your better half happy! https://www.needledoctor.com/Music-Hall-MMF-5-3-Turntable |
Buy a red turntable unless you really know how to get a great high gloss paint finish and like DIY projects. Your GF/wife (hopefully they are the same person) will not be happy with a crappy looking paint job. You can get a red TT from Rega, Pro-Ject, or Music Hall. Spend your money on the TT cartridge combination and buy a phono preamp later. |
