No phono input on Jadis but want to buy tunrtable

Check out The Needle Doctor. He's got lots of inexpensive gear and it's a good place to start. A friend of mine started there with a Bellari Phono stage and Music Hall table/arm/cartridge combo and was very pleased with the sound.

You should get enough of an idea whether you really want to get back into vinyl without spending a lot of money and if you do, you can always slowly upgrade to a level you're happy with. Be careful though, it could get expensive. My friend has gone through a few tables and arms, at least a half dozen cartridges and went from zero albums to over 2000 and still counting. Actually, he liked analong so much he got into reel-to-reel and I think he's now up to six decks not to mention many, many tapes.

Happy hunting!

I have a funny feeling that this is going to get a little more expensive than I was thinking..

project debut II or rega p1, both come w/ cart. for $400ish
hagerman bugle phono pre $150ish
on budget, maybe over after you add the two requisite pairs of ic/s.

You can pick up a new Rega P1 turntable(comes with cartridge), and a used NAD or Parasound, or any $100.00 phonostage, and a used Nitty gritty wet cleaner for around $600.00.

If you are looking for something at the caliber of you or your wife's system, you will be spending a lot more than $600.
