Very good read indeed! My vinyl adventure is turning into a deep,dark rabbit hole.I started with a Rega Planar 2,grado gold cart. and a 25.00 phono pre. I upgraded to a dynavector p-75 then it happened.I got my ears on a Sota sapphire,dynavector lo output mc (xlm-20?) with the same pre as I have,
Great googlamooglies, so now,I've sold the Rega,,looking for a TT and cartdidge that will approach the sound that I heard.Now, what makes matters worse,is that I owned a record store back in the day(early seventies) and I have boxes of lp's,many unopened,many british imports,,just sitting around as I search for a setup,rapidly diminishing audio funds and with that said,any advice would be appreciated.I have my eye on a Sota Sapphire,MMt tonearm which according to the seller,has been recently "brought up to specs" for about 1250.00. Sorry for the longwindedness,, but when does it end? A deep,dark,hole,,indeed.
