My First New Vinyl ...
I received a package from the UPS man. My first new record in probably 25-30 years. I guess you have to start somewhere. It was a gift from Mike B. :o in anticipation of a new TT setup. Unfortunately that's a few months away, but I am actually looking forward to taking the plunge.

Yes it was Jeff. I am really starting to get over my initial fear of the whole process. Originally Posted by A/V Solutions

My Dartzeel preamp has a MC input so now I am starting to think about easy setup TT's and all that goes with it. There's so much to learn.

Joe... I'm sure Jeff can put a nice starter table/cart together & even set it up for you & ship it to you ready to go.

As soon as the dust settles with the D'Agostino preamp, I'll need to make a decision on the TT setup.

Hello Nelson. I shipped a box full of vinyl, Fedex today. Coming your way. Just a thank you for all your help. Mostly jazz. Included a sealed 10 inch Prestige recording from master tapes by Monk. Enjoy. I think that I am going to have to put together a package for Joe, when he gets up and running. Originally Posted by Audionirvanard

Joe,
A set up like yours without a TT is a non sense.
I wish you good luck in your search and I predict that the used market of carts here may grow very fast !

Michael,
Depending on the next month or two, I hope to get a TT setup after the summer. That will give Mike some time to ship me 4-5 more LP's.

Re: My First New Vinyl ...
Hi Joe,
You owned Marantz NA11S1 which is a nice digital source where people praise its analog sounding.
Do you find your new turntable setup is still much better than your NA11S1 ?
I tempted to buy VPI or Rega TT but never pull the trigger because in my country the availability of vinyl album is very limited and pricey.
Thanks.
