@jasonbourne52 - I don’t think it’s a waste of money if you’re an experienced analog person. But I recommend a newbie start simpler.
Advice for a new analog system
Hello everyone and thank you in advance for your advice.
I have made the decision to venture into the magical world of vinyl.
I was considering a VPI Avenger Direct (round 34K) turntable and CJ or Audio Research phono preamps.
As a cartridge I have in mind the Clearaudio Davinci.
I have been doing some research on Agon and apparently there are a lot of users who don't like VPI and considering the investment in the turntable I imagine there must be many options.
I prefer the short cut of a single investment for life.
My system is Mc C1100, mc 1.25Kw and Dynaudio Evidence Platinum speakers.
What turntable and system would you recommend, I appreciate your advice.

To consider: 1) Primary Control Kinea DD turnable and Gravity tonearm. All handmade in NL. Similar money
2) STST Motus IIDQ with Vertex or maybe Glanz tonearm. About half cost. These both I work with, and love. Not on magazine covers but very good Phono can depend on cart and system gain requirements. If low impedance cart ( under 5R ) than perfect for either current input phono OR SUT plus tube phono. Most importantly have fun collecting records :)

One point everyone seems to forget- do you have a stable place to put it? It’s very annoying to have a Tt that flies off the rails if you look at it the wrong way. I suggest placing half a glass of water in the place(s) you’re thinking of putting it and walk around the room normally. If the water shakes a lot, find another place. |
@chayro great suggestion |
I thank you all for your comments and suggestions, different points of view, all valid and very useful. Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences and advice, this allows me to investigate and discern, which makes this experience fabulous.
