Hello, I am new to vinyl and have a number of questions that, despite many YouTube videos and thread reading, I can't really find conclusive answers. I'm not sure yet if vinyl is for me, and could go vinyl or digital. In any case, I am looking for a physical, piece of furniture to add to the room as a source. I need the audio to be super clean. I don't mind changing records so much, as I usually put a single track or album on and leave it.
My portable audio setup is: AK SP1000, Han Redcore balanced cable, Campfire Audio Solaris, Jupiter and Andromeda. Previously I had full-size headphones, AKG K701 and HD800's. My speakers are B&O BeoLab 90's with BeoLab 18's in rear (living room). I use the SP1000 as source, either FLAC or Deezer lossless streaming.
My questions are as follows:
1. Is noise common/unavoidable in using turntables?
2. BeoLab 90's are active; should I/do I need to pre-amp the signal from the turntable?
3. Do you recommend any hardware (TT or pre-amp)?
4. My budget is flexible, $1,000-$10,000; I value value and really need a clean sound. Static/white noise would drive me up the wall.
Thanks
