I think this entry level turntable is the best budget turntable out there. I hope someone can recommend a good upgrade to the stock Ortofon OM5 cartridge.
- Project Audio Speed Box II
I purchased the Speed Box so that it would be easier to play 45s. It also stabilizes the turtable's speed. I have not listened to my Pls without it so I can't comment on what difference it makes in terms of sound quality.
This phono pre had so many great reviews that I had to give it a try. Replaced my Parasound Z-Phono. The Bellari adds warmth and is very quite. This is my first piece of tube gear.
Highly rated and modest price makes this a no brainer for small budgets.
I got this used. It's a great sounding Pre. Good match with my HCA-2. Has a pretty good Phono and Headphone section built in.
- PS Audio HCA-2 Cullen Circuits Mod
This is my favourite piece of gear. It sounds wonderful and it's great value. It's been modified by Rick Cullen of Cullen Circuits.
Purchased used with rock solid lead shot filled Franklin & Lowell stands. No fatigue even after long listening sessions.
