Turntable Troubles

[aliveatfive]

Bumping this thread to provide an update:

Turntable troubles, no more! I recently got a new audio rack, with the TT sitting on top. I also got a Graham Slee Amp 2 phono preamp. WOW! I've only listened to a few of my albums, but what I've heard so far is butter. Much better than my digital source, whether CD, SACD, or DVD-A. Thanks for all the input.

Now, next upgrade will be the cartridge. Any suggestions in the "budget" price range (under $350)?

The cheaper Grados are good deals, as are the Shures. For a little more money, try the Sumikos (moving coils,) or the Denons. There's a lot out there to play with. Only you can determine what sounds best in your system.

BTW - the Sumikos are the Blue Point and the Blue Point Special.

Chris,
I have a Grado in my Thorens and I find it a great value and sound for the money.
