Help Me Build a Vinyl System

Nice system! How about staying with "Made in the USA" precedent of your other gear and picking up a VPI Classic and the new Parasound phono pre-amp?

You don't give a budget. So a good phono cable which you will need is a Seabreeze or Hovland MusicGroove2. Both can sometimes be found used. An entry level pro-ject, rega or similar turntable is a good start. Later when you know more that this is an area you wish to delve further into you will have learned the basics and be ready to go where only fools or music lovers dare to go. Mostly vinyl listener here.

No problem.

Please just send me the money that you want to spend, and I will gladly pick you out an analog source system, (including a nice selection of vinyl for you to play), and send it to you as soon as I have it bought and tested.

Given your system, I suggest about $10K as a good starting figure. (Oh, and please include the additional funds for shipping and insurance though!)

;-)

I'd suggest a Well Tempered Amadeus. Less fiddly than many turntables, and all one package of turntable and tonearm. Great reviews all over.

Please include a budget and a brief description of what you like and dont like concerning audio,such as,,do you listen to a lot of bass heavy music,mostly classical,heavy metal,bluegrass.What do you love hearing,deep soundstage,super detail,laidback,lush midrange,what makes you happy about the sound of a system,how is your mechanical ability,do you like fiddling with things or plug n play?Are ticks and pops going to be ok,you will have some.Be ready to clean records,dust brush them,get up to change or flip records often.LOL,I love analog! You have a very nice system.If you get entry level ,it will give you a small taste and you will want to upgrade very soon,or you will decide it is not your cup of tea.JJust my 2 cents.Good luck and have fun!
