I have a PE 505 that I use with TEAC TN 5BB balanced turntable that I have been very happy with. I enjoy not being concerned with hum and other noise problems that used to drive me nuts. Pro-Ject has a variety of balanced turntables beginning at reasonable prices such as Debut Pro B (except I see it supplied with MM cartridge so upgrade to MC is needed). I now have an all-balanced system based on Schiit Gigastack that seems to be a great value and I will certainly try to keep balanced as a priority - piece of mind in avoiding noise and signal loss from long cable runs can be very helpful. I have a non-balanced Pro-Ject turntable that I would also like to convert to balanced if I could find an easy way to do it.
which turntable or how to convert to balanced phono setup?
Im a total noob with vinyl please bear with me,
I just purchased a b stock Teac PE 505 balanced phono preamp to replace a buggy Gold Note PH5
im looking for a turntable upgrade to run balanced with an mc cart
so aside from those tables that have xlrs outs,
is it just a matter of finding a din to xlr tone arm cable? or is there more to it?
I dont understand the differences between tables like mine that have RCA outs (technics 1200 gr2)
and those with "tone arm" cables
