my venerable pioneer receiver's right channel died on me this morning, taking my only phono pre-amp with it... time to upgrade! but being a vinyl noob, who received his system from his father, i'm not sure where to begin, i made a post last year about furthering my analog journey here but due to many odd circumstances i haven't been able to follow through with anything.
i remember i was looking at getting a new Pro-Ject Debut III or Rega P1 TT around the $400 range back then, and will probably do so soon anyways, so i should take that into account... and possibly upgrade to better Cart down the road..
So are their any synergistic pairings of TTs/Carts and phono pre-amps i should look at? most of my music tastes is split between the usual Classic Rock, and newer metalcore/hardcore. also i'm planning on going balanced on most of my gear this year, so i might as well go balanced with this also, would that mean a balanced cart, balanced TT, Balanced pre-amp?
[size=xx-small]oi, me wallet is gonna six-feet under by the end of the year[/size]
