I would agree with the "buy an entry level Project or Rega and have some fun!" take...If you are a music person and can stretch to $500-$1,000 for a TT/cartridge, you may enjoy the analog experience. If you are fully committed to digital, great. If you have $1,000 to spend and like to hit garage sales/thrift store/used record stores the vinyl part of this endeavor can be real fun and help connect you to the music on an even deeper level than digital. TRY IT! and ignore the folks who imply spending $1,500 + is needed to get the vinyl effect.
Vinyl***What If***
Hypothetical here:
My new incoming Cayin integrated has a built in MM stage..IF I convinced myself I wanted to try vinyl & knowing absolutely nothing about set up,care etc..& do NOT like to constantly fiddle recommend me a complete,bare minimum setup...
Speakers are Harbeth M30.1 & cables are Nordost Lief Series Red Dawn...Thanks much..
