vinyl on the move

I bought my first TT in over 20 years this year and am happy to be one causing this resurgence!

Kurt_tank,

Kind of obnoxious eh??

What I said was I was happy to be ONE causing this resurgence!

I did not say I was THE one!!!

Now as far as upgrading the TT and phono preamp, I am sure I will do it several times in three years, and am already shopping for a much better table for my reference rig, and after that retort of yours, the only thing your getting from me are sticks and coal!

No problem!

I started out with a Marantz TT15 which is basically a modified Clearaudio Emotion with Clearaudio Virtuoso Ebony wood cart and a Dynavector P75 Mk II phono pre. It's great for the bedroom, now I am trying to decide on something for the main rig, looking at the Avid line as they look and sound really good, but still a ways away from committing to a high end analog rig, also due to the economy.

Sorry Kurt, I can't be of much help comparing it to others as I am really early on in this and it is my only point of reference. I bought the Dynavector as I got a pretty good deal on it and it is very flexible allowing me to change cartridges without replacing the phono preamp.

I also looked at the Sim Audio LP5.3 but didn't need the balanced outs for the bedroom.... I might try that in the main rig when I get to it.
