3k to spend...


Which combination of turntable/cartridge/phono preamp would you buy. I understand its very subjective....but just looking for some ideas.

Thanks for any and all suggestions.

Now on Agon:
Well Tempered Labs Simplex ($1200.00)
DV P-75 MKII (450.00)
DV Karat 17D3 (NEW!) ($950.00)
For $2600.00, a steal!!!!
I would go VPI Scout II or Classic 1, target price 1400-1800. Agree that DV-P75 Mk ii at $475 is excellent; I have a perfect 150 hour Dyna XX-ii mkii which I would sell you as well if interested. Great analogue within your budget...Teeshot
Sota Comet with 303 tonearm $1400.00
Croft Acoustics RIAA phono preamp (tube)$995.00
Grado Sonata mm cartridge $600.00
Total 2995.00,5 bucks under your budget,can't beat that!
I would go with the Well Tempered Labs/Dynavector combo.It looks to be the best value and highest performing of the other suggestions. IMO.
Sorry Yogiboy, IMHO,
Simplex over the Comet in a heartbeat.
17D3 over the a Sonata in another heartbeat.
