you've got $25,000.00


Ok, here's the deal...i have researched until my eyes hurt, ears swelled and brain has fried :)
I listen to classical, jazz, rock and indie music.I love, musicality, whole note duration and music portrayed as a "whole cloth' with no exaggerated ANYTHING!
Clean, clear, musical pieces that get out of the way!
So...Pick a turntable, cartridge, tonearm etc. with this budget and background and help an old guy out :)

You've got to hear the VPI Superscout all tricked out with the rim drive... for the rest - spend it on records and tickets to live concerts
With your experience, I would suggest something in same $40K 'company'. Like Walker Black Diamond or TW Raven AC3. Reviews are stellar.

I have Clearaudio Master Ref/Master TQ1/Insider wood Ref/Everest stand, which I am extremely happy with.

Many options are available at this Price range. Recommend audition, audition and audition. Worth flying to distance for an audition to make the right choice
