Here I sit listening to my cd's trying to figure out what phono stage to get for my amp... My CD collection is small but my vinyl is huge... Have all of these on vinyl and here I sit... Handcuffed! Ugh! I can help with a suggestion 1) IFI Iphono + a itube add on buffer if you want the tube signiature 2) Shiiit - Mani 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting them in order IF you can believe that... That's a good number of LPs to straighten out it you haven't in years! Heck I wish I had half that much. Don't consider myself an expert at all, but I now what I like. If you do not have tubes at all in your system at least put them in line with your LPs! I'd bet you would be as tickled as I am with what I picked up last year. Except the prices that I just looked at are 25% higher for the little Pro-ject DS tuber I run. It made the analog the best part of my stereo when I hooked it up! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running a Linn w/MM thru a PrimaLuna integrated into my LS. I was thinking a Vincent PHO-701 MM/MC stage but someone said somewhere Linn tables are picky as far as phono stages go...

In my opinion both my suggestions are better than a stock standard Vincent If you want the tube sound you can add the IFI itube to either phono amp https://ifi-audio.com/portfolio-view/micro-itube2/ Another member took my advice and is now super happy 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wdecho Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 My new turntable. I really like the layout design and simplicity of this Fluance turntable. I bought an AR turntable when they were being sold 30 years ago but sold it to buy a better one, or at least I thought so. Has anyone seen the prices the old AR turntables are now bringing? I prefer belt drive, no practical reason, direct drive properly implemented is perfect fine as well. Just my personal preference. The Audio Technica LP120 was on sale this week at Amazon for something like $230 and it was very tempting. Sounds really nice with the Audio-technica AT95E cartridge. Might eventually spring for the new AT440ma one day but then the price of it alone is the cost I paid for the turntable with cartridge. One advantage of simple is when and if repairs are needed, easily and cheaply repaired. I hope it will be a long time from now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decades ago I donated my AR with SME arm to Purple Heart. What was I thinking? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
