Im rather new to vinyl and would appreciate some advice. I have an old Technics SL-2000 that used to belong to my parents and I would like to be able to hook it up to my headphone setup. My current setup involves headphones -> Schiit Lyr -> Schiit Bifrost -> PC. I am not looking to spend all that much on a preamp (I know that is vague in the audiophile market, but lets just say that I will be ok with something that is somewhat entry level), so if you all could recommend me something that would work with the Lyr I would really appreciate it.
Another side question I have has to do with the cartridge. Id like to avoid replacing the cartridge, but on the other hand I am not exactly privy to their relative importance. The one on it now is a Stanton 680 EL that I would expect is in good condition (given the relative wear on the rest of the turntable). Should I replace this with something newer, or should I be ok with the current one? Otherwise, how should I assess whether it needs to be replaced?
Thanks in advance for the help.
