| Tube cd player I had a conrad johnson DV2b CD player for a few years that sounded very nice, somewhat soft in dynamics but superb for jazz and classical. I haven't seen one of these on the used market for some time now. Extremely well built with high quality cap... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Red Lorry, Yellow Lorry - Nothing Wrong Red Lorry, Yellow Lorry - Blowplus a bunch of their 45 rpm, 12 inch singles/EP UK imports I've collected over the years. | |

| What's your go-to cheapie cartridge? Grado Gold with 8MZ stylus is also a good combo, (I have a Black, a Gold and the 8MZ) albeit, the total price would exceed the OP's budget. |
