Thanks all for the suggestions so far!
To answer a question upthread, I've been using the Shindo Aurieges as my phono stage.
And one thing I definitely want to ensure is that any new turntable/preamp pairs well with my SET system and also, ideally, with my Dynavector XX2.
Does anyone have any recommendations that pair well with Line Magnetic SETs specifically?
Looking for a more solid-feeling turntable (and maybe a new preamp)
Hey all,
This has been my system for years:
-
Line Magnetic LM-218IA
-
Davone Ray speakers
-
Shindo Aurieges preamp
-
Rega RP10 with a Dynavector XX-2 cart
The Rega’s been good to me, but I’ve never fully loved it. It just feels a bit light and fragile—both in physical build and in the way it presents music. I’m looking for something that feels more grounded, stable, and confident. Obviously I’m also looking for something that would complement the LM and the Rays.
The Shindo I do like a lot, but if there’s something out there that keeps the musicality and adds a bit more clarity or grip or that works in conjunction with any turntable recommends, I’d be open to hearing about it.
I listen mostly to rock, electronic, ambient, experimental, some jazz.
Budget is around $10k all-in.
Appreciate any recommendations!
