Vintage or New?

Posted by geezerrocket on September 26, 2014 at 08:32:17

I have a nephew (18) that is a budding audiophile and is looking to get a turntable to go along with his vintage Pioneer SX ???? Receiver.

I have decided to give a helping hand, ie buy him a table. I owe him anyway as he takes care of any PC/computer issues that come up at our house.

I would like to stay South of $350. Would he be better served with a new Project, Rega 1, Music Hall, or would a vintage Technics, Thorens or similar be better?

He doesn't mind vintage and is fascinated by the look and sound of my modified Lenco L75.

Thanks.

Hell, I've got a vintage TT hooked up to $8500 worth of downstream equipment. I'm sure your nephew can handle. nt - jdaniel@jps.net 21:20:29 09/27/14 (0)
