best value beginner turntable
Project debut Carbon is probably the best value in an entry level table. Table, carbon fiber arm and cartridge for under $400-. And it sounds very good. http://www.musicdirect.com/p-75872-pro-ject-debut-carbon-turntable.aspx |
Well...the AT LP 120 is a completely different beast than the lp60...comes equiped with AT 95E cart, weighs 25 lbs, speed is dead on, and is quiet as a church mouse....only negative...built in phono preamp, although a nice thought, has below average performance...I bought a dedicated unit <50 that sounds quite good... |
Music Hall has an entry level tables I think the model is MMF2.1 now. It should cost about what the Project does. When I bought my MMF-5 it was their lowest level table the current version is up a couple of notches. The Music Hall USB table can be used as a regular table I understand and it costs only $250 or so brand new. I looked at the REK -o-Kut phono preamps and they appear to be incredible bargains. Just be certain of the cartridge your going to use MM or MC. In all likelyhood MM. |
Hi Buconero Regarding the Denon 47F recommendation. Are parts for the older Denon TTs still available? I like the look and build quality of the older Denon TTs but from what I've gathered finding parts for them should there be a problem is very difficult. Would the newer Denon TTs from recent years be a better fit? Thanks |
