Vinyl Records

Yup, I did that as well. For speakers with the Linn I will be using some Celestion SL600s. Just for your amps make sure no caps or resistors have been repaired.

What about going all vintage on a system?

I still think it's the best bang for the buck

I remember trying to collect trance/techno records back in highschool but I didn't even have a record player. Really wanted to get into mixing trance like my idol, Oakenfold, but my e30 stole all my money so I never got any mixing gear and ended up selling or giving away my records. So much money wasted in those days...

And that's my story.

If you want a deal, get the Marantz TT-15S1, which is designed by Clearaudio, and very close to their Concept line.

I would so do a RM9 with the CF arm.

You get a CF arm with the Debut Carbon for just $400. Awesome deal.

I would so do a RM9 with the CF arm. Sumiko FTW!

RM9 is $$$ ...something like this maybe - http://www.needledoctor.com/Pro-Ject...ic-in-Mahogany ?

I have a Rega P2. It's not the strongest link in my system but it's not the weakest either. It does its job and it's a turntable that gets a guy's foot in the door to listen to vinyl.

I am thinking a Rega, a Project or AR XB ?

Dude that turn table is more money than most people's cars on this site

Sad state of affairs then ;-)

Linn Sondek = trailing arm suspension.

Truly, the E30 of the vinyl world.

Truth as well. Picking up one soon to add to the collection.

Clearaudio Concept would be the E30 of the turntable world IMO. Cheap enough, simple, and amazing performance for its price.

The Planar has been around since the '80s. It's considered a classic. It has a very strong aftermarket support and virtually unlimited upgrade potential. It remains the most popular deck among people who like to mod/hotrod on a moderate budget. Hence the comparison to the E30.

I still need to pick out a good turntable though, will probably go used, not sure yet what I'll get though.

Depends on budget. The Rega Planar 3-24 is the E30 of the audiophile turntable world. Personally, I prefer ProJect for better isolation and (I think) a better tone arm. Can't go wrong with either brand.
