I've been wanting to switch to analog for quite some time and I think I'll finally be able to do it in couple of months. After researching a bit, I have decided to skip the entry level turntables and cartridges, but I'm not yet sure what I'm going to get. Do any of you guys/gals on here have experiance with phono equipment? Just looking for any opinions ya'll might have.

darn. i thought somebody was finally in to the same thing i am.

do you just like lots of hissing and popping noises along with your tunes? Mrs Ynot still has a nice turntable. On the other side of the coin ,I have to admit ,it's way more reliable than a CD player.

I thought most audiophiles finally admitted that the "warmth" of LP's was distortion, not a true representation of the audio signal trapped by the microphones. I guess I am not an audiophile since I can't afford to drop 100G on a home theater and audio room.

I definitely don't qualify as an audiophile, though I do prefer the sound of old vinyl on my turntable if I'm going to listen to music at home...
