Vinyl Help. First one since my close and play.

Your advise please. My mother recently passed away and left me hundreds of classical recordings and Operas. I do not have a turntable and was wondering what to get. My current system consists of a Mc100 preamp and a Mc 2000
(tube amp) Martin logan Requests and a ML Descent Sub. I would like to get something that will not be overkill for my system. Used is ok by me.

Budget abt 3K. Do I need a new phonostage with the Mc100?

most-likely you will benefit from high quality outboard phono preamp.
you can choose from the following suggested list:

arc ph3(or se version)
plinius m16
bat vk p5
pass aleph ono
ear 834p

the're all in the budget of $2k and much less if you find used -- you'll just need to acquire a nice cartridge for it and you're all analogue set. i would recommend to buy either new cartridge or if you go for used buy it locally and off the turntable to see it's playing.
