turntable choice

I'm finally entering turntable land so I can finally hear the several hundred records i have owned for years.

My choices are Project carbon around 400. or the new NAD tables starting at 450. I'm leaning towards the project because i have seen some open box specials for about 350.

I know this is the low end of the audiophile spectrum but I appreciate any opinions you might have. Do NOT want to spend more than 400.00

thank you!

Thanks tborg I’m definitely interested in the project and I will take your advice. I’m also following g a musichall MMF 2.3 le. 

I’m told that is a comparable table.

Also  never got rid of my vinyl I’ve hauling it around through several moves. I was a record fanatic when younger and worked in stores and a huge one stop in Chicago where I built a lot of my collection so after many years I get to gear it again.

Any recommendations for rca cables for my soon to be complete vinyl system ? I gave totem sttafs with a NAD 356 amp with the added on NAD 375 phone stage.

Research more research with plenty of patience especially if buying used
gear.

Vintage prices for TT's are not what they used to be with allot of gear being bought up and shipped overseas, the demand is exceeding the supply but keep looking you might get lucky.

https://www.hifido.co.jp/?G=0301(the English translation is in upper right corner), Audiogon, and ebay are excellent options for online searching for a vintage TT.  If you have quality audio repair shop within driving distance this would be a positive if you go this route.


I would take a vintage Stanton 681 cartridge any day over any cartridge mentioned thus far.

A Spin Clean Record Washer MKII would be a excellent choice for bringing your original issue records back to life.

Well good luck to you and keep us posted...
