Newbie, looking for giant killer front end


gentlemen, looking for giant killer analogue
front end, ie; can a $3000 system slay the
mega buck systems???

I would appreciate recomendations.

Rega P9 if you can forget the VTA stuff. Comes with a great arm that you know is properly installed. Add a good cart, install it on a well levelled wall shelf and forget all the twiddling. Has all the finesse and punch you will ever need. If you want something big and more like a Cadillac, go for a VPI, I guess.
Hi Jim,

Do you already have a phono stage? If so, what is it?

No one can recommend a cartridge without knowing that, and no one can recommend an arm without knowing the cartridge. System synergy is even more critical in a vinyl front end than in electronics.
