You might also add the new Schiit Sol turntable at $799 or $928 inc. Mani phono amp to your options. Order direct with 15 day return. 11" arm included. All aluminium and made in USA. No cheapo MDF or acrylic. I heard the prototype at AXPONA.
Turntable and pre-amp advice sought
Looking for some advice as there seem to be a bunch of options and little to differentiate them,
I'm looking for a turntable and phono-preamp. I mostly listen to music via streaming but I own a fair amount of 45s that I'd like to have the ability to play. I'm mostly looking at a budget of $750 give or take and for something new.
For turntables, I've been looking at the U-Turn Orbit Plus, Music Hall 2.3 and the Rega P1. Electronic speed change isn't a must though some of the Pro-Jects seem to offer it and I wouldn't object. As for pre-amps, I've been eyeing the U-Turn Pluto, Music Hall PA 1.2, a Musical Fidelity and a Rega. I've been hesitant to get a table with a pre-amp built in but perhaps that's foolish thinking.
There doesn't seem to be a lot that suggests one over the other. Anyone with experience with these items who has some advice to offer would be appreciated.
