Vinyl***What If***

Hypothetical here:
My new incoming Cayin integrated has a built in MM stage..IF I convinced myself I wanted to try vinyl & knowing absolutely nothing about set up,care etc..& do NOT like to constantly fiddle recommend me a complete,bare minimum setup...
Speakers are Harbeth M30.1 & cables are Nordost Lief Series Red Dawn...Thanks much..

I have posted this before but my partner and I built an expensive phono stage 3olb separate power supply.  It is just stunning.  I am not a vinyl guy but it crushed our DHT DAC.  What a natural sound.  Funny thing is we are using a TT with a MM middle of the road shure cartridge on a. get this, JC Penny TT.  As I am told, CEC build the TTs back in the day even for Marantz but we were smiling and laughing when we noticed that.


Happy Listening.

Back in the day you can find a TT labeled JC Penny that was actually made by CEC who made many TT back then for Marantz, etc.  Try something like that first, spend some money on a decent cartridge to see if that floats your boat@

Happy Listening.
