The Turntable Thread
MuppetFace:
I figured this was past due. This is the place to discuss all things turntables: various models, tonearms, cartridges, etc.
So I have two questions to start things off...
1. What do you pirates use currently?
2. What phono preamps would you recommend? I'm looking for something in the $1000-4000 range.
LFF:
My workhorse is a Technics SL-1300. My other one is a Thorens TD-124.
Pre-amps...I like vintage McIntosh so I use the phono on a C32.
timjthomas:
I have a Sondek LP12. Not the best of turntables, but given that I got it and over 500 albums for $300, I couldn't be happier!!!
I use an AVA pre-amp.
Questhate:
Sweet! I'm going to keep a close eye on this thread, since setting up a modest vinyl rig has always been on the backburner for me.
I have a pair of Technics 1200s (anyone need one?) from my DJ'ing days that I dug up out of storage. I was looking into setting it up, but got sidetracked. I talked to Ben aka Mackat for a bit about cartridges and he recommended the Shure M97xe and AT95HE, with the latter being better for my original tonearm so I'll probably go with that.
burnspbesq:
Rega P3-24, with a Sumiko Blackbird cartridge and Whest Two phonostage.
The Whest is a great value at $1,200.
If I had $2.5K to spend on a phonostage, I would be sorely tempted to go Manley.
