Wasn’t sure if this is the right spot or the tech board.

New set up arriving soon
KEF LS50 Meta
Rotel A14 (not fully sold on this one yet) SVS 3000 micro

Looking for suggestions for a turn table and any other suggestions for an amp.
Excited to get this all hooked up soon.

I got me an Audio Technica turntable a couple of years ago and it totally rocks.

Look at Pro-jet and Rega. Both have a variety of price options and are generally well regarded. Music Hall is another. If you move above $2K there are others to look at: MoFi, Clearaudio, VPI. Technics if you want direct drive rather than belt.

Don't know much about the Rotel, but the reviews are generally positive. How much are you looking to spend?

There's a thread in this forum that has lots of info, but I warn you it's 275 pages long. Audio/Vinyl Thread

thats a lot of pages

My budget is about 3k for the amp, will probably try to keep the turn table around 500.

I have a Marantz SR5015 in my home theater and really enjoy it, so I want to do some more research on the Marantz Model 30. This setup is going in my den downstairs, so i am looking for something with 2 zones for the outdoor speakers, but if i need to add a 2 zone splitter I will. The outdoor speakers are nothing special.

Rega Planar. Their intro model is around $350 - $400 depending on if you need the pre-amp. I would highly recommend the Rega Planar 2 which costs around $550, not including the pre-amp. I have the 2 and run it through a Cambridge Audio receiver. Fantastic sound.

Find Marco on that thread posted above for amp recommendations. He’s by far the most knowledgeable and helpful.
E-mail me regarding the turntable, I’m not far from you and I have one you may be interested in that’s been upgraded and in that price range.

If you look at Stereophile for value Integrate Amp recommendations (under 3K): (A rated) Marantz M30, (B rated) Rogue Sphinx, Parasound Hint 6, Luxman SQ-N150, Cambridge Audio EVO 150 and Cambridge CXA81 (comments on some sites say there are QC issues with the CXA81). Another rec is the Outlaw RR2160 receiver.

Most Int Amps don't do zones, some will have four speaker outputs, A/B

experience with Fluance?


I have 2 of them. The RT82 and the RT84. I love both of them. They both sound great to me.

I recently got an Orbit Custom from U-Turn Audio. Less than $300, and I love it.
