Recently I find myself interested to indulge in Vinyl. Presntly I have CDP (with Integrated amp) as well as PC (with headphone as well as AVR) based stereo setup and don't have any previous experience of owning any TT.
Last week I took opportunity during my visit to Bangalore and Kolkata to know ABC of Vinyl and Turntable. Also, visited shop of used Vinyl at Kolkata (Wellington Road).
After my above visit, the desire for vinyl set-up has grown further. Specially, opportunity for listening Indian classical, Tagore songs and Bengali modern songs through used vinyl has attracted me more.
So, if I go for vinyl the used vinyl will be more than new vinyl in my stock. The items which I have to purchase :
1. Turn Table
2. Tone arm
3. Cartridge
4. Phono-stage amp
5. Accessroies like Spirit Level, Brush, record cleaning solution, stylus cleaning liquid, anti static sleeves etc.
6. Record cleaning machine
If I miss something, may please correct me.
Now, out of the above the most important are TT, Tone arm and Cartridge. Next important is Phono-stage.
I like to purchase new TT. My total budget may be 1.5L ( including phono stage and RCM).
The model I have seen, listened and is aiming for is Scheu Analog Cello. Only, I have to check and get advice on its performance with not well maintained and not so well recrded used vinyls. I have listened only three used LPs in this TT and I need to listen more before taking final decision.
Need your advice and comments on my selection of TT and suggestion for other acessories availability.
First I would start building up of approx. 20-25 LP stock (new and used) and purchase the accessories. Then I would purchase the TT and Phono. Till then I would like to listen more TT at Delhi/NCR and other cities and gather more information.
Any invitation?
