Default Piano black classic 3 on the way
Well thanks a lot everyone, after all the great reviews on this table I have ordered a classic 3!! This is my first foray into analog so I don't know what to expect. But after reading all of the reviews I had to give it a shot

I'm sure you will love it! What cart will you be using?

I am going with a denon dl103r to start. Like I said I am totally new to this so I am going with a recommendation on cartridge choice

Congrats on the purchase of your Classic 3. I am sure you will love it as I do mine. It is built like a tank.

Many congrats on your new turntable. I would personally get a better cart than the Denon. Check out the dynavector 20x or xx2 - differences are not subtle and the classic deserves it.

I agree on the cart. I have the DV xx2 mk2 and love it. With the right phono stage it is a great cartridge.

Great choice. The classic and dynavector xx2 are a solid match IMHO. I own a classic 2 with sds and stillpoints LPi and ss on PAB SE isolation platform - use to own dynavector 20x then xx2 and now Benz LP-S. The classic platform is able to derive benefit from these carts - not wasted. A Denon is not good enough and for not a lot more money you won't be desperate to upgrade immediately.

Congrats on new Classic 3. Had mine for 6 months or so and still feel privileged every time I drop the needle. New to vinyl? Nothing like starting at the top? :-) Now the fun begins....wait till you hear some of your favorite music you have only heard CD.
