@seanchau, there is currently a "recently serviced" VPI HW-19 (Mk.3, I believe, though it has a Mk.4 armboard---1" thick vs. the Mk.3's 1/2") on the big auction site. It comes with a Sumiko Premier MMT (Jelco) arm mounted, a VPI PLC Power Line Conditioner, and what appears to be a BDR carbon fiber record clamp. That's a lotta table for $900! 3 days remaining, no bids, $114 shipping. If I needed a table and had a grand to spend, I buy it in a heartbeat.
Recommendation on a basic turntable setup
Quick intro. I have been in audio for many years now. Never tried a turnatable. With this Covid, I have some free time and want to give it a try. I am quite happy with my Theta Va DAC with Logitech streaming or Spotify streaming through Chrome Audio. So if you can recommend a turntable that will be comparable or better that will be great.
The system I am planning to set it up with includes the following components (extra gear laying around):
- Sonic Frontiers SFL 1 Pre-amp
- Sonic Frontiers SFS 40 Amp
- Sonus Faber Concertino with stand
I would prefer a setup that is not too complicated to setup. Budget is under $1000.
Thanks!
Sean
