The most important piece in all this will be the phono section. I would get the Cambridge 551p phono stage and a Cambridge AM10. If that puts you over budget, buy the 551p and drop down to the Cambridge Sonata AR30.
Cambridge Topaz AM10 vs Yamaha AS300 vs Onkyo
Cambridge Audio TopazAM10 vs Yamaha AS300 vs Onkyo A9050?
Setup: Denon turntable, Denon MC (but high output) cartridge, Wharfedale speakers
This is as far as my budget will stretch, and I'm planning on buying new from Crutchfield. I don't have a separate phono preamp, but all of these have a built in one. They're all around the same price as well, although the Onkyo is 50$ more ($350). Which one would be the best option?
I listen to punk, indie, lo-fi, some folk, and ska. All from past 20 years or so.
Thank you.
