Beginning the Analog Adventure

So I recently moved into a new appartment (and will revise my system accordingly soon) and just hooked up my music hall 2.1 again and it sounds better than ever, well everything in my new room sounds sooo much better...but really what hit me is that I want to move more into the analog direction as my system evolves.

so the question is where I go. right now I have a Music Hall 2.1 tt and rega phono stage running to my krell HTS as a preamp (in preamp mode) and then to krell mono's

I'm going to buy a bunch more vinyl either way, but should I upgrade my phono stage and TT now...and if so what should I look at.

thinking a price range of 500 to 1000 and am very willing to purchase used.

thanks for the input...my hi-fi store dosen't deal too much with analog

I started out with a Music Hall MMF-5 and compared it (side by side) with a friend's Rega P-25, RB-900 tonearm, and Grado Platinum cartridge. While his setup did some things better, they both displayed many of the same limitations (and the Rega / Grado combination was worse in 2 distinct areas - pitch and hum). It wasn't until I got my Teres 255 / OL Silver / Shelter 501 mk II that I thought "Wow...this is *really* significant."

Like others have said, you'd be better off waiting.
