Thank you everyone for your comments and suggestions. I've purchased the Technics Sl 1200 Gr. I'm currently looking for the Zu modded Denon 103 for my cartridge but Zu is sold out. Will aquire with them too regarding a suggested phono pre.
Is a GREAT turntable under $2000 possible???
Howdy folks-
I’m really enjoying my current set up and return to 2.1 channel listening and Home Theater. Here’s what I’ve got:
-Mc402 Amp
-Anthem Mrx 520
-Oppo 103 Bdp with Scott Nixon tube dac
-Mac Mini with a Scott Nixon Usb tube dac
-Audience and Wireworld cables
-Tekton Electron speakers
I’d like to introduce vinyl to my evening listening pleasure. Any recommendations for a turntable (including arm, cartridge, etc) under $2000? Is this a reasonable figure? I have no clue when it comes to turntables so any advice given is surely appreciated.

I know only of two candidates, the suspended Michell Gyro SE £1899.00 complete https://www.vickershifi.com/Products/MICGSE202?gclid=CjwKCAjwt5DXBRAtEiwAa3vyEg3lhbt4JvabvZiSVs7ehfl... and the vectored Funk Firm Little Super deck £1584 w/o cart. http://www.analogueseduction.net/funk-firm/funk-firm-little-super-deck-turntable-with-funk-firm-f5-t... However for a simpler life you might prefer the lovely Project Classic or my choice the fuss free bomb proof Technics 1200GR. |
I’m currently looking for the Zu modded Denon 103 for my cartridge but Zu is sold out. I use Zu Audio speakers and cables, but if you want to put Zu Audio Denon 103 on your technics stock tonearm it will be a mismatch. You’d better look at what Zu Audio used for their Zu DL-103 HERE It’s Audiomods tonearm from UK on ZU Technics SL1210. You need high mass tonearm for any versions of Denon 103, the effective mass of the stock Technics tonearm is too low for such a low compliance cartridge like Denon. That’s why Audiomods tonearm was chosen by Zu Audio for ZU DL-103 About tonearm/cartridge matching: https://www.ortofon.com/support/support-hifi/resonance-frequency |
