Need Advice: Setting up a basic analog system
Hello, newbie here, I just inherited a Technics SL1200mk2 w an Orsonic headshell w an AT31E cartridge; and a Mark Levinson LNP-2 Preamp. I am now planning on setting up a basic system to listen to my old vinyl. I've been going thru the forums and websites and I'm planning on getting an Adcom 535 power amp, Polk Audio RTi 1A speakers and maybe a TCC TC-760LC phono preamp. Was also toying with the idea of getting a new phono cart like the Audio Technica AT95e or the Shure M97, or maybe even a budget tube amp.
I am after a decent analog setup, something like a basic audiophile system (budget). My listening room is probably 10' x 12'. I would appreciate your inputs, comments, suggestions. Cheers!

+1 on both the DL-160 and AT150MLX. Although the DL-160 is nice for the price, the extra spent on the AT150MLX will reward you handsomely--similar tonal balance, but faster, deeper, tighter, better tracker, more detail, but not in a hyper-detailed way. Just more music and better connection with the artists. |
thanks johnnyb53, was just wondering, if i'll be spending roughly $300+ dollars on the AT150, wouldn't it be better if i get the new stylus for my AT31E and then get a phono preamp (from KAB; Music Hall MM/MC preamp) for almost the same amount of money? just exploring what would be the better move... |
08-28-09: MonakoYes, now that you ask. Hdm's advice was very good. For a little over $300, I'd go for the new stylus for the AT31E and a good entry level phono preamp that has the gain for a low output moving coil pickup. My first choice for a phono stage in your price range is the Cambridge 640P. The stylus and 640p add up to about $340. For a review, download issue 21 of Tone Audio magazine here and read the review on page 45. |
