Best Analog for $10K

I posted that way because the playback process in R2R does not develops so many distortions as the LP playback whole process and because in the tape was not recorded the RIAA eq. curve and low registers comes in stereo.

@rauliruegas Just so you know, the bit of this statement after 'LP playback' is so garbled that it makes no sense. Could you restate it?

^^^ 
R2R does not suffer RIAA Eq. and the lowest bass registers / octaves are in stereo - unlike LP which are in mono. 

Dear @ct0517  : Thank's. I could think that atmasphere knews exactly what I refered to, but....???

I can add to your post: inverse RIAA eq too, disortions/resonances/vibrations developed in between cartridge ridding LP modulations then the developed resonances developed by the TT/tonearm feedback. LP playback process is a " nigthmare " but even that sounds good.

Second the Kuzma suggestion!

Well, you asked … so here are some recommendations worth exactly what you paid for them.

Turntable:  VPI Prime ($4k-4.5k)  Full disclosure:  I have a different VPI 'table (Classic, which is no longer made as far as I know) in large part because, once set up properly, you don't have to fiddle with it.

Cartridge:  Lyra.  All day.  I have the Delos, their entry-level and it is fantastic.  Folks that know a lot more than me have written comparisons and said Lyra blows away Koetsu.  If you can stretch for the Kleos at $3.7k, even better.

Phono stage:  Pretty much a matter of synergy with what you have.  I wanted tubes in my vinyl signal path, and picked an Audio Research PH-5, which has been a trooper.  But there are lots of good phono stages in the $2.5k-$3.5k range, from Parasound to Herron Audio to VTL to … oh, how I lust for new Boulder at $5k, tube comments not withstanding.

Cables:  important, but less so than the other elements in the chain, assuming you maintain a certain level of quality.

The prices I've quoted are new.  If you could find "gently used," you might do even better.

Happy listening,
