You can get great analog sound for a lot less than you think. There is, as we speak, a Technics SP-10 MKII for a mere 599.00 including shipping here on Audiogon. You will have to add a tonearm and cartridge.
Converting to Analog
Ok, after hearing vinyl at the Home Entertainment show last week I am convinced vinyl is superior to digital (including SACD). My question is twofold. Can I get near the level of sound I heard without spending $10,000 on a turntable, and am I nuts to add analog to a ss ARC 100.2 amp with a tube LS15 pre? I can review other threads for recommendations on specific turntables to consider. Is there anything else I need to consider in adding a turntable to my system?
