Turntables
Try this on US Audio Mart or another one from Canada @luvrockin I see your point, but saving on Turntable is a bad idea if the difference is not that big. I'm sure you can find some decent MM/MI cartridges for $200-300. |
With all the suggestions, I thank you all. I have looked into every one of them and decided to pull the trigger and have an invoice awaiting payment on a "mint" VPI Scout Aries with dust cover. No cartridge included. The deal is going to set me over budget a bit but I landed the table for $1200, which I think is pretty fair. Now onto the cartridge |
I do agree that if you’re going to get into this hobby you have to make sure you can adjust and set up your own turntable or else changes are almost impossible without spending money at a dealer every time. Takes the fun away for sure. Plus once you know how to set up a turntable you really begin to understand what makes it work and what you can do to change the sound. |
That’s a solid choice but you will need to learn to set it up. I own a VPI Prime and it can be finicky the first few times you try to set it up but once you understand the idiosyncrasies you’ll be fine. I agree with others best to go for a decent cart and spend the money on a good pre. Ortofon should be a good starting point for you |
