Adding a turntable to my system

Well here's what I went with Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Esprit SB Turntable With ortofon 2M Blue Cartridge with acrylic platter and a 
Pro-Ject Phono Box E pre amp for 569.i thought it was a good deal.

I think you made a great choice to start.  I had the same TT w/ a project tube box S, and for the the money it sounded wonderful.

Enjoy it!

@thirsty93 - Excellent! Let us know what you think once you've had a chance to set it up and take a listen. If it's new, the cartridge might need a bit of break-in. I think my Ortofon 2M Red took about 10-20 hours playing time to open up.

Give the cartridge at least 50 hours of play time. Mine was improving up to about 120 hours, not Ortofon.

Anyone on a budget tube pre amp
