+1 Technics TT as easiest set and forget with great Sonics
Another option Mofi Untradeck
Help with TT for my System
Hello, and thank you in advance for your time and sharing your expertise: my system is a VAC Phi 200 in two - channel mode, and a VAC Standard preampsifier, which I found used and sent it to the factory to have an MC phono preamp added to it. According to Kevin Hayes, he fitted the best MC preamp he had ever included in one of these with an output of around 0.35mu. I also own a near new Ortofon Cadenza Bronze cartridge, and my speakers are a pair of Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolutions. My connections are a totally different subject. I would like to spend around $4K or less on a used or new turntable, with ease of operation due to my age. All the best, Ken

@ckenr The Option for the Technics will do you no harm, with this Model referred to there is a Tonearm supplied. There does remain the Option for a Alternate Headshell and an Open Mind on which Material / Material + Weight is also worth consideration. I use a 9 Gram AT MS 9 with Ortofon Cart's. I also use a Japanese DD TT. |
@drbond: I think my price point and the ease of operation requirement have excluded a lot of brands. I sold my Well-tempered Amadeus because I could no longer bend over, maintain a good balance, and correctly aim the stylus on the record. Initially, I was going to ask for just an arm, and then find a record spinner to match it., but the least resistant course of action seems to be the closest thing to a plug and play. I have to listen to my body also!
@pindac: thank you for the confirmation and suggesting the headshell. I happen to live around the corner from Blue Jeans Cables. I should be able to try out a few of their products to find the optimum sound. |
