You are ALL------ nuts get the Rega RP1 w/cartridge under $500 and be done with it.Their tonearm alone is worth this price. You have to spend 3Xs as much to hear a difference. In a year if you want to upgrade buy a $500 MC Cart
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.
