Help buying first analog rig - Clearaudio Concept or Rega P6
@jmphotography,If you like Clearaudio Concept TT, take a look at Dr. Feickert’s Volare turntable for $3695 with a Origin Live Mk3 tonearm. It’s a better TT / Tonearm combo and a great value, IMO. https://youtu.be/tb08CgmR5aUhttps://upscaleaudio.co...

Phono preamp for new Klimax LP12
