Speaker Pairing Question

Perhaps Jmoog08 is interested in an integrated with an onboard phono stage??? ...and, Dan_ed, where would you have him ask the question?

If that is the case, it would be helpful to know what cart is planned to go with the Technics.

Lots of choices in the $600 - $800 range. Ponnie has some good advice...especially the Naim NAIT recommendation - magic! The DL110 is a gem on the SL1210.

Musical Fidelity, Rega, Linn, Creek are all strong choices, too! Depending on your sense of adventure, you might want to consider a vintage receiver from the late 70's/early 80's - Marantz, Pioneer, Kenwood, Sansui, Yamaha, etc.

Don't go crazy on cables - yet. Start w/ good, basic copper, then experiment as funds allow.

...just remember - if it sounds good to you, it IS good!

Lots of good reading at The Audio Asylum ;)

Good luck!
