Phono Cartridge for $1,000.
It is the former the coil is wound around. That can be plastic, paper, aluminum, iron ... 
Good Entry-Level DAC
+1 djones51! Certainly a one-box CD player can be the equal of any transport/DAC combination! A good recommendation for the latest NAD player!

Music is best experienced in silence! 
70’s rock pressings. Witch equipment deserve?
Yes, get the best TT, arm, cartridge and phono stage you can afford! Those rock LPs will benefit from it! Hint: shop the second-hand market!
