Looking to get started

Hi All -

I've been itching to get started in Analog for a while now so I'm reaching out for advice.

I have an audiophile theater system now and wonder if I can integrate an analog player into the system and truly benefit from the addition.

I have a CARY Cinema 6 pre/pro and Rotel 1090 5 channel amp. Speakers are the new NHT Classic 3s. I'm pretty sure I need a phono pre-amp. (?)

What are some thoughts?

Much appreciated! Pete

Pete, a general idea of your budget would be helpful...

After that, where are you going to place the turntable? Do you want an automatic turntable, semi-automatic, or manual? Who is going to use the turntable?

There are thousands and thousands of turntable, cartridge, phono pre combinations out there, you need to narrow down the field a bit...

Unless I already had a significant record collection and/or extremely deep pockets, I would think very carefully before "starting" an analog system these days.

i agree about the analog system, unless you are going through the process of cleaning lps , cart. cleaning and setup of such a system can become very time consumming. so said, if you decide to go that way, i suggest the music hall combo with their phonl channel also....

I'm always curious to know what makes people want to do this? Or, in other words, what are your expectations? Do you feel that our current source will be improved? Just curious.
