I don't pretend to be an expert but I'd recommend going with a tube based phono preamp. I originally purchased a Lehmann SE Black solid state phono peamp but after several years I elected to upgrade my TT to a Clearaudio Concept and Satisfy Carbon tonearm with a Van den Huul MC10 special edition cartridge. I elected to also upgrade to a Jolida JD9 II tube phono stage and have been pretty happy with the results.
Turntable and amp combination
All
i would like to put together a turntable and amp combination. While I know enough about the world of digital audio, know very little about the world of analog Audio.
Have a large collection of vinyl records that my dad gave to me to begin with.
Also have a paid of bookshelf speakers from Salk sound to begin with (scanspeak 5” woofer and Aircirc tweeter in MTM configuration).
For all other parts I would like to ideally spend unde $2k-$3k.
It would be great to get a few suggestions for what gear to buy.
