In Reply to: RE: dilemma: Keeping or selling off vinyl & turntable posted by JeffH on May 19, 2015 at 21:06:47
I just got a turntable recently. I had never owned one before though I had used (abused) my parents turntable as a child.
After 20 years I decided to take the plunge. I found an inexpensive one on E-Bay.
I have been very pleased. I can compare (the sound) directly to my digital systems and I see (hear) that analog does something that digital does not. There is a...for lack of a better word...a jump factor...something going on with dynamics and tonality that's closer to live music than digital. An analogy would have a sonic image created by the turntable as like looking through a (somewhat smudged) pane of glass, while digital is like looking at a photo. The former is closer to the actual event.
Anyway, I am hooked. I want to upgrade my turntable but don't know where to begin. I talked to Chad Kassem of Analogue Productions (last year at the New York Audio Show) about buying a new turntable from him and he suggested I first consider upgrading the cartridge and phono stage. He said that what I had (as far as the turntable) was not half bad.
The improvements that I hope to see (with an upgrade) would be improved tonality with classical instruments (voices already sound very realistic) and a "cleaner" sound for lack of a better word. I know vinyl can do it because I have heard this kind of sound from vinyl at shows.
I am excited but I don't have a clue as to what cartridge or phono stage to look at. I am still such a newbie to this and I intially don't have a whole lot of money to spend.
Any advice from more experienced inmates would be appreciated.
