As I get more involved ( consumed ) LOL building my system, let me say I'm really new just a few months into it and really excited about it. Having a budget like most of us do always brings up having to concede in one area or another.My strategy might be flawed but I'm going in the direction of trying to choose equipment that would stay with me for at least 3-4 years before venturing on if I choose. I going with the VPI TT because I think it will fit my parameters as stated above. I've already met some fantastic people here that have helped me in the 3-4 days I've been a member I really thankful , Buck who I'm getting his ARC REF 2 SE to replace my present Phono stage and Ivan who I'm getting my table from just to mention a few.Now I trying to decide what cartridge I will go with. looking at these:
Dynavector XX2 MK2
LYRA DELOS
KISEKI - Blue MC Phono Cartridge
ORTOFON - Cadenza Bronze MC Phono

I know there are a million variables in the decision making process I'm just saying if I handed you $2000.00 what would you buy basically.Any choice will be so far ahead of what i have now..LOL

I will be going to a ACR Ref 5SE or 6 soon and ACR amp which I'm still thinking about which one but that will be 2-3 months out.
