OP: how is your TT journey going?
Putting together turntable rig
Hi,
reaching out to the community in hope of some help regarding putting together a analog rig. Since now I exclusively listen digital. I‘am very happy with my Setup, but was thinking of maybe updating my Audio Analogue AADAC since it is the weakest link.
But about three months ago I have the urge to get a turntable. Had then a loaner from a friend of me, a Dr. Feickert Volare with a Jelco arm and Hana cartridge, Phono Preamp was from Audio Analogue. I was really impressed and enjoyed it a lot.
My chain at the moment:
- Viva Audio Solistino with 845 Elrog’s and vintage tubes
- Cube Audio Nenuphar
- 432evo Aeon Server/Roon Core
- the mentioned AADAC
- Good copper cable’s
- SOTM Switch
- Townshends Pucks under all components
- Audioplan Power-Filter/Star and Plant‘s
I do have already something in mind:
- Dr. Feickert Woodpecker
- Arms something like Viv Lab Rigid Float, Reed 3P, Origin Live Conqueror
- No idea for a cartridge yet
- Preamp Rike Natalija
It‘s not written in stone, it‘s just the direction I was thinking.
The problem is I do have not the funds right now to get everything at once. There are now two ways that come to my mind. Save long enough and by everything at once. Or, get some “good” parts, mix them for the beginning with some “cheaper“ used ones, and replace them afterwards with the desired ones.
But if going that mixed way, how to start, what would be first priority’s to get the most out of it?
Please excuse my humble english.
Your opinions would be greatly appreciated!

@eric5kim I’m very happy and glad that I made the move. Collected 175 records since then. Got me a Elma ultrasonic cleaner to get the most out of the records. It’s amazing when the record is well pressed and in M or NM condition that they play very quite. At the moment I have stopped looking/lusting over other equipment, just collecting records and enjoying the music. That’s a good sign! |
@greenhorn20 good to hear. I’m considering woodpecker/blackbird.. or a SME 15A |
