| Whats on your turntable tonight? Just got a new phono preamp today: Sutherland 20/20. Blown away by it. Listening to some of my favorite records and it’s like hearing them for the first time. Among others, played Debussy Nocturnes with Bernard Haitink and the Concertgebouw Orches... | |
| Best turntable for the buck Slaw, Yes, I think I’m going to be listening to a lot more records. | |
| Best turntable for the buck I really didn’t know how much information was on my records. It’s amazing that a preamp by itself could make that much difference. I guess the rest of my setup isn’t that bad after all. I’m just dumbfounded! | |
| Best turntable for the buck Well, I got the Sutherland 20/20 installed on my system. The good news is that it sounds fantastic right out of the box! Night and day difference. Probably a much better choice than getting a new turntable, ‘The bad news is that somehow, by ... | |
| Best turntable for the buck Well, I had a long talk with a Music Direct person today, and I’m not getting a turntable after all. I’m getting a Sutherland 20/20 phono preamp. This is probably the best first step in my quest for better sound. | |
| Best turntable for the buck My dealer refuses to let me try out a new turntable with my Clearaudio cartridge in my system. I can’t say that I blame him (it would be a lot of work) but it’s a deal breaker for me. I don’t want to be stuck with a turntable the equivalent of min... | |
| Best turntable for the buck My dealer is telling me he likes the sound of the VPI Scout over the Prime. Anyone have an opinion on that? It’s certainly more affordable. | |
| Best turntable for the buck mr_putty, Thanks for the input. I’m seriously interested in the Prime. My local dealer has it and is willing to set it up for me, I’m NOT a DIY person. I’m happy to hear you like it so well. I just hope it will be a significant upgrade from wh... | |
| Best turntable for the buck After reading a few reviews, I have serious doubts about the Technics turntable. I’m looking further, to see if I can find something superior to what I have in the 4K price range. | |
| Best turntable for the buck My dealer is trying to talk me into a VPI turntable (of course because he doesn’t carry Technics, although he can get it.) Anybody have any love for VPI? | |
| Best turntable for the buck The Techniques is a game changer for me. It seems to fit every qualification, including the price. Now, if I can only find a way to get it past my wife! | |
| Best turntable for the buck Tomic601, As much as I would love to improve my analog side, I don’t think I have the level of commitment and resources that it takes. I don’t even trust myself to install a cartridge, no less a tone arm. So I think I’ll pass on a new setup. | |
| Best turntable for the buck I think my query has been answered here. it’s apparent that $4000 is not going to bring my analog side to the level that I’m hoping for. Thanks everyone for your help. | |
| Best turntable for the buck bkeske, ‘Do you have the Saphire VI? ‘Does it require an arm separately? ‘The price is right. | |
| Best turntable for the buck The main issue with my turntable is a lack of transparency, that I am getting with digital sources. The instruments don’t exist in a three dimensional space. The tone quality is fine My hope is that new turntable in the 4K range will provide that.... |
