Phono.. does this mean?

Dougdeacon: Do you know how long oak224 has been posting on the Gon? Let me tell you, since 03. You honestly think he has no idea what MM&MC stand for? I might not have an idea how to work an ipod but I know what it is.

Thanks all.. Let me say for folks... I started in Car Audio at age 16, and over the years tuned a car audio system that is awesome. When I bought my house in 2003 is when I got into Home audio of course. I started with the Axiom speaker set-up and Yamaha amp to watch movies, and listen to music. I have always wanted to build a dedicated music system which I will someday, but of course the house expense, along with the 20K decline in pay in this economy its not in the fore front as much. However I do have some music in vinyl that I dont have in CD and would like to play it.

I will be honest and say I have not used Vinyl since the late 80's so yes the ins and outs of TT's are foriegn to me. So I do appreciate the advice. Once I get the table I am sure I will come to you folks for update needs, and as I build my dedicated system for the office.

Ohh for a budget TT I am right on the Rega right? My LP's are Tori Amos, Dave Matthews Band, Rachael Yamagata, Hope Sandavol ect...

Schipo,
In his defense, you must admit that no car made since 2003 is suitable for the installation of a TT. You have to go back to a '69 Mustang or earlier to find a car that's really good for in-dash vinyl!

Tom,
Speaking as one of the certifiable 1% to another, if I really wanted to scare him I'd invite him over. Hah!

Oak244,
Rega makes very reasonable entry level rigs (as do some others). They're widely available used and the company's still in business, in case you ever needed a part or something.
