    Turntable for Cyrus

    3 speedsfor 3 records speeds no turntable has a satisfactory / price sensitive 3 speed solution with an easy cart change - easier to switch the table - and for decent sound those 2 decks are cheapest / best solution I have found so now a phono stage for both decks....

    Picking up on this again - clearaudio concept & a rega 78 appears as good as any option to play 3 speeds if I go for a MM cart - for now - what would be a good phono stage to handle both tables / cart & take a future MC if I decide in the future many thanks

    After looking into they say it isn't an option would be more expensive than buying 2 concepts with 2 different carts which is what is recommended? aaaah didnt realise being able to play all 3 speeds would be so difficult. Why do they have 3 speeds if so...? competely stuck

    thanks for feedback again and in response - its a 6 DAC, I have a record collection so in short a phono preamp built in - like the clearaudio concept seems well received. plus as my collection goes back to the early 1900s it prob needs the 3 play speeds any other kit i might need?
