"for a second system"
do you already have a TT in 1st system?
IOW, is this a 'toes in the world of vinyl' first experience (may find out vinyl is not for you)
or do you know you will stick with vinyl?
help choosing a turn table
good evening,
I will be purchasing my first turn table.. it will be for a second system using a Lyngdorf TDA 1120 combined with a pair of monitor audio gold 100 speakers . Budget is preferably < 2k and ideally < $1,500.. music to be played is likely classic rock, 80 s music, maybe some alternative.. want detailed sound that is not fatiguing .. appreciate everyone’s input thanks
there is a similar 'pick a TT thread currently, lots of info there https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/nice-vintage-2k-turntable-cartridge-and-phono-stage

The technics is a good idea, but I always recommend Rega with a rega cartridge for newbies. You just bolt in the cartridge with their 3-point mount and then you don’t have to think about anything like alignment, rake angle, whatever. If you don’t have a dealer, you will have to set the tracking force and antiskate, but that’s easy. |
