Vinyl Asylum Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ. |
|
Current vinyl setup is Rega RP3 with TT-PSU and Ortofon 2M Red cartridge and looking to upgrade-best to stay in the Ortofon Line or are there better options out there? My local audio store is recommending Clear Audio. Would like to keep it under $1000.
Any suggestions welcome. My system is Acoustat Spectra 22/TNT-200/MRP-1. Phono Pre is built in to the MRP-1, Van Alstine designed
