In Reply to: Looking for help on First Vinyl system posted by Pojack on February 26, 2014 at 11:16:30:
The Pio amp and tuner can be the center of a nice vinyl based system. I would keep all of it as cassettes are fun to play with and you might enjoy the sound from your vintage CD players as well.
As you pointed out, you will need a turntable and phono cartridge. Your amp accomodates a high output, or moving magnet, phono cartridge so make sure that your turntable has that.
And you will need a pair of speakers as well.
Please tell me, what is your budget for these items and do you intend to get them new or through Goodwill and the thrifts? I think that you are going to enjoy putting your rig together and you will get great advice from the members of this board. Welcome to the Asylum.
