Used Denon 47F, picked up locally, married with a Denon 160. Cost no more then $300. Preamp could be nad PP-2, which would work well with the 160. Then once you decide to move up, sell off the system and move up to a VPI.
A low cost way to try phono once again?
I went to digital many years ago but I would like to give phono another try just for grins. I need to find a low cost option but I want to give it a fair chance as well. I have a pre but will need a phono pre since my preamp has no phono section. I need to keep it below 1k if possible.
