Turntable?

I like vintage sound. Pioneer or Denon or Technics from the late 70’s for TT. For cartridge I like the FM radio broadcast sound of the Denon 110. For vinyl I would only by Japanese unless you are willing to risk quality

I don't advocate an "entry level Linn" to anybody who wants an inexpensive new table, but, el redundo amundo, I think a lot of the new and inexpensive stuff is killer for small money. I also was recently interested in "The Classic" from Pro-Ject but after listening to an incredible sounding LP I recently bought from Jim Campilongo (Telecaster genius I recently worked with as a live sound mixer) I thought…hey…my ancient Basik/Akito is simply too good to give up. None of that means anything really, but it gives me the opportunity to point out my groovy Live Sound Mixer thing. Insecure? You bet.

Somebody (not me) has a Basik/Akito for sale on A'gon…I had to rewire mine with a Jelco-Mogami "DIN" cable (Mogami "Neglex" in weird pink) as the original cable was in bad shape, and that had the benefit of reducing cartridge hum bigly.

Anyone entering the vinyl arena would be well served to check this out:

George Merrill has an entry level table as well: http://hifigem.com/polytable.html
He is a wealth of honest experience and abilities.
Best of luck

of coarse, I mentioned a future upgrade path.

No one else thought this through.
