70’s rock pressings. Witch equipment deserve?


I have 3.000 LP, most of it 70’s prog rock. Some of them are “audiophile” pressings (Classic Records... etc). But just a few.

Is it worth it a expensive capsule/phonopreamp for that kind of recordings? 

I know that classical music, or jazz masterings were masterworks in their times, and deserves the best capsule/preamp you can buy.

But I dont’t know if Genesis, PF, King Crimson, Magma... 70’s pressings would get much better with a super capsule or it’s better to invest in other parts of the chain to achieve the best sound.

Thanks! Be safe!

You want something that can carry a rhythm but get that right and the it’s worth it. The recent Well Tempereds or Regas fit the bill, Linn as well if you don’t mind spending. I’m not as convinced by the Technics as some but I’ve only heard one (a limited edition something or other) with an SME V arm and that will suck the life out of any deck.
