need help on minimal analog set-up


Thanks in advance for any help. I am considering an analog only set-up for my small study. Turntable/phono/pre/headphones only. maybe future small speakers. I have an old Mitsubishi LT-5V turntable that i am thinking of resurecting. i am not a big hardware man (serious software collection), my living rooom system consists of nads, rega 25 and rega Rega Super Elys, lehmann black cube, totem sig 1's, cardas and kimber wire. Any recs on cartrige for the mits, or dump the mits, phono /pre/ headphones, etc? say i invest 4k total, used. would be interested in tube.

thanks again,
gary

Get yourself a used NAD 3020. It's phono section is very respectable. I still have mine and I use it in my study office. It can drive any speaker system to decent levels without strain and accomodate most cartirdges. It sounds great with Spendor/Rogers Harbeth 3/5's and I took it to a freind's house and drove his Turntable Cartridge through Thiel 1.5 to a more than sufficent satisfactory level.A NAD 3020 goes on the net auciton houses for around $100 - $200. With the money you save you can upgrade turntable and blow the rest on records! The 3020A and the 3020B are the same except the 3020A has a mono switch. You won't be sorry. Has all of your other requirements.
