Merry Christmas to all! Thank everyone for their input. I looked into every suggestion. So were feasible and some were not. Disappointed the VPI Scout Aries fell through but it would’ve ended up putting me well over budget. From what I’ve read, the Rega P6 is a pretty solid table. I’m happy to say, my original starting point budget was up to $1500. I made my purchases. I needed up with the Rega Planar 6 with New Exact 2 cartrldge and some extras for $1100 along with a New Rega MM mk3 phono stage for $340. I’m thrilled I’m in at $1440 which is just under budget. Any suggestions on cables?
Turntables
I am kicking the idea of trying out vinyl. It’s been a long time since I had a turntable and it took a lot of thought whether I can deal with what always seemed like the snap, crackle & pops of an album. Anyway, I’ve decided to take a plunge after all the buzz how awesome it is. Of course before I make any final decisions, I always turn to the Audiogon community for their expert thoughts, opinions and education. I’m also looking for suggestions for a nice affordable table with tone arm and cartridge. Being the fact this is new to me and I may hate it, I’m looking for suggestions on the best affordable set up I can do for a new or used in the price range of $1000/$1500. I’m sure I can get a better bang for the buck going used. I just don’t know anything about these animals. My system is older but I still enjoy it which consist of a Mark Levinson 23.5 amp, Proceed AVP 2+6 used for 2 channel audio, Audio Acoustics model 9 speakers, Ayre DAC for digital with Transparent Audio Ultra mm2 cables. Any input is greatly appreciated!
