Thanks for the info. This is more of a "phishing" thread at this point to learn more about vinyl. I'll look for the thread you referenced. It would take a lot to convince me to get into vinyl. If I ever have a dedicated audio room it would be much more tempting to play around with.
What's the cost of an entry level vinyl setup?
I'm just curious how much it would cost to get the equipment required to make vinyl worth listening to. I know players are available for cheap, but would anticipate the sound quality to be the same.
What would be your recommendation to go with a system worth about $5,000 in total? Is there a significant advantage to vinyl at this level? I've heard vinyl on high enough equipment to know that at it's best it's better than digital, but am not sure what it would cost for the average joe to get a quality sound.

I would try the Project with a the built in phono stage, or buy the Rega P3 and get the Bellari tubed phono stage. I have helped several friends start with the same set up and we all thought it sounded stellar. I would have someone, if you can find a buddy with tacit analog knowledge, help you set it up. If not, buy Michael Fremmers Vinyl set up disc. Well worth the price, plus, he's pretty funny. |
Dual 1229 used - $200 Grado cartridge - $50 Hagerman Bugle - $149 http://www.hagtech.com/bugle.html For $400,you're in business and have to apologize to no one about the sound you'll be getting. Cheers, Thom @ Galibier |
