Phono for dummies


Hi,
I currently have BAT-D5 Cd player -> Emotive Sira LE (linestage only) -> Audio Art Jota -> SAP J2001 MK-II speakers.
I owned a collection of more than 2000 CDs and recently thinking about phono.
Any suggestion, help to set up phono system would trutly appreciate.

Thanks

If your a classical enthusiast, its where vinyl really counts. Until I got to a really good CD player(modded Shanling CDT-100), I found classical CD's harsh and grating, I hardly ever played them, though rock sounded quite good.
I agree, go for a cheap and cheerful starter deck, perhaps with inbuilt phono stage and fitted cartridge, just plug and play. Rega and Project offer this I believe. I think you'll find even this humble combo will embarass a good CD player on classical reproduction. Bood luck
