FYI - Make sure to spend as much or more on the needle and cartridge than you do on the turntable itself. I've been out of the loop too long but when I knew my shit moving magnet cartridges and Ortofon where the stuff.
turntable is coming free from the bro-in-law, so the $$$ is there for a good cartridge.
also, everyday musical heavy lifting will be done by the computer and the cd player- I'm just done with buying CDs. Albums will be for special occasions and to shower financial support on artists I love.
I have used both Ortofons and Stantons, and for your purposes the Stantons will be more-than-adequate. Ortofons sound a smidge better, but not three-times-the-price better.
Analog is an undead medium?

ReplyDeleteAnalog like the cockroach is a pain in the ass.

ReplyDeleteI think that you should start scratching with your turntable and call yourself MC dookie.
