Hi all, I apologize if this post is in the wrong area, I didn't know where to start the thread.
I am interested in buying my 1st turntable and would like to know whether turntables are for me (genres/artists that I listen to) or whether I would not be gaining anything going down that track.
I would also like to know whether the Artists I will soon mention have Vinyls that are of an Audiophile quality out there or whether they were never mastered for that purpose,
Vinyls I would buy are, Nirvana, Eminem, NOFX which I would listen to most and perhaps Cat Stevens and Beethoven for the rare occasion.
I do not own any speakers yet (advice what would be best for may taste of music would be appreciated) though straight up I would be using my CIEM: TF10x8...which is a TF10 up graded to 8 drivers, and also my HiFiman HE-400. I may buy the HD800 and the JH16pro/JH3a down the track but not for now.
My current Amp and DAC is JDS LABS O2 and ODAC.
I would also consider upgrading Amp/DAC if that would be recommended.
The budget of $2000 approx does not have to include speakers.
Though if you guys believe I would gain anything from Vinyls yet recommend that I spend more, I may consider spending up to $5000.
What is required to make a complete setup?
Also can anyone explain the difference between the Vinyl size (inches), (grams) and colours etc.
What would be the ones to look for when chasing the purist sound?
Thanks guys
