I have found the new Sumiko Project RM-6 to be a great value in a turntable/arm combination for $ 1500.00. A Grado or Benz Micro cartridge can be added and the combo would be in your budget. Go to www.sumikoaudio.com for pictures and specs. The sound stock is very good but I have some tweaks that elevate the performance to $ 6,000.00 set ups I have used.
Ayre K=3x preamp? Turntable suggestions?
I am demoing a K-3x preamp next week. Currently I have a Gamut D-200 amp in my system. Can anyone tell me about this preamp? Also, I am going to get a turntable setup. Any suggestions? I am new to vinyl. I probably will spend about $2k for a turntable/arm/cartridge/cable combo.
Thanks for any input you can give.
