i think if you buy used, a $2k rig, complete w/turntable, arm, cartridge, & fono-stage, will smoke *any* digital set-up. sure, digital has less background noise - but also less music. one person's opinion. doug
How much $$ in a TT to equal a midfi CDP
I'm intertested in getting into a turntable, but it's a scary task. I'd like to know what people here think I need to spend to surpass a 'rega planet' or 'rotel 971' level of sound. I 'm giving the comparison because if I cannot surpass the sound of these midfi CD players then I don't think I will spend money on a TT and records. I'm very interested in hearing the "record sound", but I guess I'm not sure if it can be done on a budget. Anyway, I obviously know very little about TT so any help would be great. Thanks.
