Analog newby question
I have a relatively high end digital musci/HT system and would like to add a turntable. However, as I got into the audio habit during the heyday of the CD, I don't think I've ever owned a record... Here's what I think I need, could someone let me know if I'm leaving something out? Suggestions of units to look for would also be appreciated
Cartridge
Arm
Turntable
Line stage
Also, is the function of the line stage to boost the signal from the cartridge to a level that will drive the pre-amp (actually a DAC/Pre-amp, HT processor in my case)?
FWIW, the 2-channel portion of my system is currently:
Proceed PMDT cd/dvd transport
Proceed AVP processor/preamp
MF NuVista 300 front channels
Revel Studio front speakers
Thanks in advance,
Thomas
