Vinyl Asylum Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ. |

Got your attention? Cool. Let me explain my question.What is your absolute bottom-line, entry level point on vinyl playback gear that you could live with, with relative satisfaction? At what point did you find a table, arm, cart, phono pre combo that you were happy with, but then decided to move beyond that because you wanted a better experience?
Or, when you reached the point where you were happy, did you stay put?
I ask these questions because I own accessibly priced analog gear, and I own some of the more ambitious stuff too. I usually have a ball with both, and I'm often impressed with just how well some things seem to perform, despite their cost.
