The reasoning in the AA mssg posted above by psychicanimal seems pretty sound. Regarding budget, the real bottom line goes not to hardware but to LP "software" acquisition. Imagine if your musical tastes run to Blue Note jazz classics... something else to consider is that you will then be running 2 households, one analog, the other digital. Divided attention (doubled concerns) may result in reduced musical enjoyment, less likely so in the assumedly hoped for epiphany.
Which low cost turntable should I choose ?
I have recently built a valve amp and speakers
World audio design KEL84 (15 watts output)
IPL M3TL Transmission line speakers.
The system sounds good, but I now want to add a turntable so I can solve the vinyl versus CD question for myself.
I want to add a low cost (2nd hand) turntable, but have read so many different articles, I now don't know which way to turn.
From my reading, I favour either a Michell Focus One or Systemdek IIX/900 but cannot find any direct comparisons.
My budget is approx £200 (give or take).
Any other ideas, please advise !...
Many thanks,
