$7K to spend on new turntable + arm
That is a tough question. I have found that the phono stage has a great deal to do with the overall sound. Of course the speakers do as well. The Dynavector cartridges to my ears can be a little bright. If you have really transparent speakers it might sound a little bright. Let us know what the rest of your system is and no doubt we can resolve this issue. |
If you don't mind buying used you can get a Basis 2500 with a Vector 4 arm for less than 7k. That table and arm combo is hard to beat. The vector 4 arm is a out performer in it's class and really lets you hear the music including well defined bass which is sorely lacking with other manufactures. Johnny |
Personally, if I had that kind of dough to sling around, I go after this Basis 2200 Signature Turntable - Vector 4 tonearm combo. I've owned both Basis and VPI tables, and for $7K you can do better than VPI. Happy hunting. PS: I have no relationship with the seller. |
