First used turntable +- $20,000. Any suggestions?
Piedpiper,Agreed! 
Can you Listen to Vinyl Casually??
How about "if your digital rig sounds equal or better than your analog rig then your turntable isn't setup correctly!"I do have to say that my Lector 7 CD player is the most analogue sounding CD player I have heard. It has it's moments where it dr...

Piedpiper,I wouldn't lump the recording into the definition of analytical vs musical debate. Yes there are bad recordings that one could say fall under my definition of analytical;however, when they all sound that way, well that is when you have a...

Raul,I would describe analytical as a very bright, lean sound, lacking in the mid-bass, it can also be very detailed. It can be very impressive at first but fatiguing after some extended listening. Some examples of analytical equipment are anythin...

Maxx1973,Go for the Brinkman Balance. It's the only turntable I would upgrade to from my Michelle Orbe. Even though I love the Forsell I am not a tweaker and I don't want to have to make adjustments to the arm every month.If you do get the Brinkma...

Piedpiper,It's a matter of personal preference but I find the Walker to be analytical and the Forsell very musical. However, I understand that a lot of people like that analytical sound. It's very in vogue with the reviewers right now. That's why ...

Also, if your going to try to setup a turntable yourself buy a cheap one to learn on. Setting up a turntable correctly is an art. It takes years of doing it to develop an ear for making the right adjustments.

Uhh...the Forsell turntable is the finest turntable on the planet. Also, The Walker is a tweakers turntable(of course the Forsell is to but requires far less and sounds much better). You need to make adjustments to it regularly. Not a good choice ...

Detlof,Actually I agree with what you said. Let me clarify my opinion. I do believe that the turntable matters especially in the areas you mentioned. I just think that of all the things you can spend your money on in the analog chain you hit the l...

Max,DO NOT BUY A TURNTABLE USED. There are many good turntables new for under $20,000. Turntables have many parts that can be damaged in shipping. You are really taking a big risk. People are going to post on here how they didn't have any problems... 
Tara Labs RSC Air 1 Speaker Cable
I owned the Air 1's for a while. They are very neutral cables that are tonally balanced. If that is your price range then I recommend them. However, I would look for a used pair of Tara Labs The One on Audiogon. They are a huge jump in performance... 
What is the BEST phono stage
The Messenger phono stage. Of course you will have to get the Messenger preamp as well since it is not sold as a seperate. Of course the Messenger preamp is the best preamp on the market.http://www.acousticimage.com/MessengerPreamp.shtml 
Led Zeppelin IV vinyl
By the way don't be surprised to see Pagey remater and re-issue all of the old Zep albums. Mothership should give all of us Zep fans an idea of how they will sound.P.S. Kmulkey get all of the Classic Records re-issues while you can. Page has stopp... 
Led Zeppelin IV vinyl
I have own both and the vinyl makes the cd sound like an mp3. Now I don't think it's the best produced Zepplin album. Jimmy Page spent way too much time in the studio trying to perfect the album and honestly I think he screwed up the mix. In my op... 
Shunyata V Ray
Klinsmanner,The huge difference is in the power conditioner's. The power cord difference isn't as noticeable.
