Tell us about your turntable setup
I currently use the Rega RP1 performance pack connected to a Schiit Mani phono stage. The preamp is the Usher P307a that feeds an Odyssey Khartago power amplifier through a Schiit Loki equaliser. The speakers are Monitor Audio RX6s. For the digital side I have a Cambridge Audio CXC transport feeding the Schiit Bifrost Multibit DAC. We also stream through a Chromecast Audio sometimes.
Any advice to people that are about to start their collection?
Please choose a decent turntable that will not damage your LPs. Make sure you have a decent record brush and stylus cleaner from the beginning. A little research initially will save a lot of trouble and money.
