hi- consider buying an arc ph5 used on audiogon for around $1500--it'll give you plenty of thrill and most of what you get from the ph7 and lots of leftover money for mo' better vinyl
help guide a vinyl newbie
I am just getting back into vinyl for the first time since college and could use some expertise from this knowledgeable group.
My current setup:
McIntosh 275 Mk IV
ARC LS 5 Mk II
SF Cremona Auditors
Black Cube SE
Denon DP47F
Ayre CX7
I am going to be upgrading my turntable and phono preamp over the next couple of years, but as I am hoping to “do it right once”, I can not afford to do it all at one time. So my question is: should I upgrade the TT and cartridge first and then the phono preamp or vice versa?
Since it will be a couple of years between purchases, I am hoping to gain the biggest upgrade in sound first.
I am planning to buy the ARC PH7, Rega P9 and a cartridge to be determined later respectively if that helps.
Thanks in advance for the advice!
