Which turntable and phono pre amp should i buy???

[sumit.india]

Guys......

Namste from India.

In our country, I can get Denon & Lenco as turntable?

Which should I buy??

As Phono Pre Amp, I have choosen CA551 (because my amp is CA650A), is it OK?

Denon and Lenco (Entry Level Model) is having Pre fitted Pre Amp..... Will another Pre Amp creates a problem??

Please advice :? :? :? :? :? :?

Hi Namste, I do not know the turntables you speak of but you do not want 2 phono preamplifiers. Stick with the CA and buy a turntable without fitted pre-amp (as these are usually not of very good quality, certainly not up to the standard of a stand-alone preamp).

Does the CA650A not have a phono input?

I am cofused :? :? :? :? Giving you the list of imputs:-

1. CD

2. DVD

3. TUNER/DAB

4. AUX

5. TAPE MONITOR

6. MP3

Please help .... Which one is for PHONO :help: :help: :help: :help: :help:

I cannot see any Lenco details which indicate a switchable phono stage so if that is the case ,you have to use the built in phono amp straight to your amplifier through the aux input preferably.(no 551 required)

If you go for a Denon DP200USB ,the phono amp is switchable so you can do 2 things.

Denon/inbuilt phono switched on to amplifier through the aux input,and then if you want to try an upgrade, you can try to get the 551 on loan and switch the inbuilt phono off/put interconnects into the 551, and then interconnects from 551 to the aux input on the amp.See if it is worth the upgrade before committing.

The other thing with the Denon is you can record your vinyl straight to USB stick or make better resolution recordings to your pc.

Hope that helps/is clear.

Planning to buy a REGA or PRO-JECT turntable with CA551

I started with a Rega P3-24 (now the RP3) and the CA 551P - a great place to start.

but please do remember to check if there is the inbuilt phono stage (I have a Project turntable)

Thanks Revey,

Please suggest "Pro-ject Debut III" or "Rega RP1".

I have already selected the preamp, CA551, becau, it will be connected to the AUX of CA650A.

I barely fins a difference...except the price between Pro-ject Debut III and Rega RP1.

Please please please suggest....... :help: :help: :help: :help: :help: :help: :help: :help: :help:

If you can get the opportunity to listen to them together then do so. I have the Debut 3 usb but I got that ex demo at a good price .If you can't make up your mind,you may as well follow the experts

Get the Rega RP1 and be done with it. Really, you'll be happy with either, so just go get one and enjoy and not worry 'bout the other.

 

[sumit.india]

People...can you give me some idea?

Rega RP1 - Does have a ground point or not? In the rear panel....

I am going to buy .... Rega RP1 ..... Already have CA551P as phono pre amp and it is having the ground point in its rear panel.....

Please give me the info...

 

[Ravey Gravey Davy]

This is what the RP1 manual says

"The arm earth (or ground) is automatically connected through the arm cable screening. No other earthing should be necessary."

If you are buying from a reputable dealer,there should not be a problem with returning a faulty unit (is it the same dealer for both turntables?)

 

[sumit.india]

Ravey....

This is the problem .... the dealer is different.

What to do? Pro-ject Debut III is having the ground pin or not??

Pls help :help: :help:

 

[Ravey Gravey Davy]

My Project 3 does(USB version) ,and I think the majority do,but double check with the dealer .(as far as I can see on the UK Henley website the answer is yes -clicky )
