Budget Turntable
Sufentanil, I appreciate the response. That 'J' arm is way heavy and the direct drive is soo noisey. The inner grove tracking makes bass soo bloated ad the highs ripped up my soundstage. I am tempted to try annother from posts for a 3'rd system bu...

Which CD player??
Ayre should be releasing the firmware upgrade for the C5xe which makes it sound much better. Make sure you get it if you're going with the Ayre.

Maybe your turntable setup is actually okay . . .
Kirkus, appreciate your response. Here's where I am coming from. I greatly enjoy the practice (and pursuit) of all points of all my hobbies. I'm into photography and mastering my camera, light, exposure, etc., have been paramount. Same for audio-I...
