Never was a fan of the cheaper Pro-Ject turntables, but looking at a review of the new Pro-Ject Debut Pro makes me think this is a real winner at the entry level.
Turntable and cartridge setup known for a marvelous bottom end.
I could use some advice. I am thinking on upgrading my Pro-Ject Classic turntable and Hana SH cartridge. My speakers are Monitor Audio Gold 300's. They go down to 30 which isn't quite a subwoofer spec, but because they are so darn close, I really don't want to complement them with one.
What I am thinking is rather that getting a sub, with your help I would upgrade my turntable setup with a turntable and cartridge that has been proven to have a wonderful bottom end.
So far my only guides have been the end of year rating in the audiophile magazines. For the most part these guides are over the place.
The only turntable that shows up in all the audiophile magazines is the very affordable Rega P-10. They all report that it is a splendid turntable, but not once have I heard of anyone marveling over its bottom end. I'd like to keep the $$$ down to around 10 grand. Thanks for your help.
The phono stage is Parasound JC3+ going to a Benchmark LA 4 pre-amp to a Benchmark AHB2 power amp.
Thanks
