don't buy new...and don't buy piece meal. lots of great table/arm/cartridge combos for i.5 to 2k used.....get a goldring or grado(or other) under 500 phonostage to start, and spend the rest of your budget on new or used vinyl. many of the expensive phno stages don't sound that different unless you brake the bank on a table, and even that is not THAT different.
$3000 on Analog system - how to spread?
How should I spread this FIRST infusion of cash. Next one being perahaps a year out.
Ex.
Table - 50%
Arm - 15%
Cartridge - 15%
Phonostage - 20%
Or,
Phonostage - 40%
Table - 30%
Arm - 20%
Cartridge - 10%
Any sensible way to do this? What's the best upgrade path. Thanx
