| Where to insert tubes while running a Luxman SS integrated @jjss49 I would probably prioritize digital at this stage as I think my vinyl rig sounds way better and less harsh in the treble than the node’s internal dac. @yogiboy budget for a tube phono would probably be around 2.5k new or used.

| Thoughts on the various platter materials used in Pro-Ject's midrange turntables? @lewm I do not believe any of them come with a mat, but that could be purchased separately. I’m open to recommendations for turntables in that price range (approx $1500-$2800) if you have any. |
