I’m happy with my lesser VPI turntable and cartridge, but if I were to upgrade a component it would be the Fatboy arm. I would probably go with a Triplanar arm.
Advice for a new analog system
Hello everyone and thank you in advance for your advice.
I have made the decision to venture into the magical world of vinyl.
I was considering a VPI Avenger Direct (round 34K) turntable and CJ or Audio Research phono preamps.
As a cartridge I have in mind the Clearaudio Davinci.
I have been doing some research on Agon and apparently there are a lot of users who don't like VPI and considering the investment in the turntable I imagine there must be many options.
I prefer the short cut of a single investment for life.
My system is Mc C1100, mc 1.25Kw and Dynaudio Evidence Platinum speakers.
What turntable and system would you recommend, I appreciate your advice.

Juan of @blisshifi put together my analog after I made some false starts. He even made suggestions regarding gear that he didn’t sell. Anyway the MSL Signature Platinum and Audionet phono preamp transformed my system. It has the musicality of a tube preamp, but the detail and speed of solid state. He had suggested the Triplanar and if I had deeper pockets I would have done the upgrade. The MSL cartridge is highly resolving and I believe that the arm reinforced this characteristic…I’m hoping that Juan can reply. Currently, I’m quite happy with my system. |
