I'm contemplating getting an analog setup and would like you smart analog guys' help. I love the Brinkmann Bardo that I heard at THE show in numerous rooms, but price with arm seems a bit high for my first foray into analog. It's 12k MSRP including arm I believe? Stunning looking though.
I have a McIntosh C2300 preamp with a very good phono stage from all accounts. I also picked up a Zu 103 cart that I can start out with and tonearm cable (two years back). So basically I think all I need is a TT and arm.
The 3000-3500 range seems to be a sweet spot. Catch with me is that I need a non-fussy table (due to being a wheelchair audiophile, can't be getting up and down all the time to mess with setup/settings). I've been told to avoid the VPIs and WTA for instance.
As far as sound, I don't want a laid back table.
Thanks for your ideas in advance!
