Help Me Build a Vinyl System

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!

Excellent start..had some Vandersteens myself and loved them. The Quatro's must be AWESOME!

How about a SOTA/SME combo. Perhaps the Cosmos and Series 5 arm?

Have Fun!

I want to spend less than $5000 for this . I mostly listen to Jazz and classical Music. only 5-10% of my mysic is Bass heavy. Planning to buy used equipment to start with.
