Wright Sound - WPP200C Phonostage with separate power supply ($900). Marantz TT-15! Designed by Marantz and built for them by Clearaudio. For $1600, you get a contoured acrylic table with an outboard motor, special anti-resonance feet and a sophisticated tonearm. TT-15 comes complete with an $800 Clearaudio Virtuoso Ebony Wood Cartridge.
For $2500 this combo is hard to beat.
I agree with one of privies statements, that analog & digital sound different ( LP being more emotional. CD being more sterile). Just me...................?................I don't think so.
LOVE TUBES , LP's AND MILES D.

My personal choice:
Re-plinth Lenco 75 ( Depends how much you pay for Lenco & cost of a new plinth - My cost - trade one of my components for NOS Lanco/Denon 103R. $400 for plinth, TT isolation platform & dedicated stand, made by myself )
Wright Sound - WPP200C Phonostage ($900),
Advanced Analog MG-1 Linear Arm Tonearm with air pump (about $800)-
Cartridge Man's Music Maker IInd ($750 - $950) with Cartridge Man's -The Isolator ($150)
Second T-arm, Rega RB300 ($395),
Denon 103R cartridge ($250-$299) also thinking about modifying 103R wood shell ($50),
Total for TT & Phono: about $4000 ( depends on discounts ).
After completion, we'll do a shout out with my friend's $10,000 turntable & $3000 phonostage + Arm + Cartridge ( I can already predict the outcome ) .
Good luck in analog journey.
