[QUOTE="chipwelder, post: 13058, member: 54"] I must say I think that one can easily start less expensive with vinyl and spend a lot of time with the set-up and tweaking and it will be extremely musical, even though not better in audiopilia terms... I mean it is the analogue making the biggest difference here. I have the last or second from last AR tt with croaks phono, an ADC wimpy arm and a plastic Ortophon OM310... It sounds good enough that the difference between digital and Analogue recordings (on LP) are immediately apparent and it completely klaps the entrylevel CDP's, but it took me a month of getting it set up just so... I have CD's and LP's of Live in Koln (old) and Kind of Blue (new) and in either case the LP is better than the CD... sure some things aren't as good, but guys LP is not about that... Get a Rega P3 or similar, a decent cart and arm and I'm fairly sure you'll be happy, even with higher end amp and speakers, just do the set-up well, or get somebody to do it well for you... A cheap TT is not like a cheap CDP, that will have nasties, some things are just not as good and you are likely to be able to improve all of them to a pleasing degree... [/QUOTE]
