elloittbnewwcombjr,
Good point.
But, the OM10 has an interchangeable stylus so it's easy to upgrade the stylus. Easy to go to a OM20 or 30, both nice. I had a KAB 20 on my SL1210 MG5.
Turntable recommendation
My wife and I are looking into getting a turntable. It would get light use as we mostly stream music via Qobuz. Current system is Bluesound Node, Yamaha CD-S303, Schiit Saga+, Schiit Vidar, NSMT Chorus 25 speakers and NSMT EXP15 sub. We do not have a record collection as of yet. Based on current gear and the fact that it will get light use. What makes sense? The $379 Yamaha CD player gets light use as well. Seems like a reasonable place to start budget-wise unless its all junk at this price point.
Pro-ject has a bunch of options within your budget. About 15 years ago I bought a $1000 Pro-ject, inc tonearm and cartridge, to get back into vinyl after a 20 year absence. Provided a great tie in the water - I’ve since added two restored vintage tts to my collection, but the Pro-ject remains in my third system (with new cartridge, of course). |
With what little experience I've gained over the years, if I were starting from scratch with vinyl I would probably start with the Fluance RT85. In it's price range it's been highly rated by a number of reviewers. https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2020/06/19/fluance-rt85-reference-turntable-review/ |
