Hello alltogether,
I am new to the forum and looking forward to exchanging. I already found a lot of good information here.
Wanted to reach out as I am currently in the market for a new turntable and wanted to see if someone would have any suggestions for me. Currently I own a Clearaudio Concept MC turntable with Nagra VPS phono stage. For the upgrade I was looking at models such as Clearaudio Ovation / Basic Innovation , Dr Feickart's with Kuzma arm or Acoustic Solid and Acoustic Signature models but I am definitely open for alternatives as well. Any suggestions would be helpful, especially in tonearm and cartridge choice. Clearaudio would be easiest as I can just choose everything they suggest in house for their models but not sure if I am getting the best for the budget and whether it pairs well with my setup even though I am very satisfied with my current Concept model.
Some requirements:
- 12k budget (arm and cartridge included)
- Needs to pair well with my Nagra VPS
- Easy to use, not too fiddly
- Should be well rounded as i am not genre specific listener. For the majority, I spend my time listening to Country, Jazz, Folk, Rock and Classic but occasionally Techno, Rap and other genres as well.
- At least 1/3 and 45rpm speed selector
Thanks,
J
