Turntable
So in our never ending quest of upgrades i am looking to get into vinyl again.my last turntable was a technics over 35 years ago. This is my current equipment.Aragon aurum preamp Aragon palladium monoblocks nordost spm interconects and speaker wire.Focal electras 920. Digital playback is a Yba integre cd player. Room is about 12x27 . Budget would be 2500 to 3000. Dollares. More importantly having little knowledge on setting up a turntable i want to buy new and from a local brick and mortar dealer. So here are the choices.Mofi , pro ject, rega ,marantz and denon.

I started out with an entry level Rega and upgraded to an Acoustic Solid Bubinga Wood. It not only looks beautiful, it sounds great! Made in Germany in a small town low production and solid machines high quality components. I picked mine up in Canada for $4k cdn which is $3k US. There are no US distributors yet but I Just spoke with Gary at Trueaudiophile And he’s going start carrying it. |
I am really partial to Oracle Alexandrias and they can be found, used of course, for amazing bargains. One has to be careful about tonearm matching with suspended decks. I am using a rewired Sumiko Premier MMT which sounds pretty damn good to me. You can bring any used deck in good condition to a GOOD brick and mortar shop and get it perfectly set op for about $125 usually. That being said, I've never listened to a great direct drive deck and am searching for the opportunity. My only experience is with belt driven ( Oracle, Yamaha, Linn) and idler arm (Dual) models, so consider my recommendations within that sphere of limitation. |
