Hi all,
Joined this forum because found quite a few threads of interest. Namely relating to turntables (as I am still new to it all and in the process of finding bits and pieces to get a decent rig going).
My system has been constantly changing in the past few years, but currently I have a custom 3-way active horn speaker system (using GOTO woofers, GOTO midrange horns and G.I.P. Laboratory WE597A tweeters). Running a few Hiraga Le monstre 8watt class A amps. A Pioneer D-23 electronic crossover manages the speakers.
My digital source comprises of a Mac Mini Server running Pure Music playback with FabFilter Pro Q plugin. A jkeny modded Hiface USB I2S battery powered module goes into a Twisted Pear Opus 24/192 DAC with O'netics output transformers. Also use a USB DDDAC1543 MK2 DAC that runs 120x TDA1543 chips.
I am into vocal acoustic, jazz, classical, soft rock, blues, pop, etc. Pretty much everything except headbanging material.
Recently picked up a Marantz 7C preamp and an Accuphase C-220 phono preamp. Now looking for a nice turntable to be able to play my record collection. Looking at a Garrard 301 in nice heavy ply plinth, 12" schick arm and some decent head/cart? or maybe a Lenco PTP ?? Still unsure at this point!
Hope to stick around and share more with you all!
Best,
Tuyen
