Hello all,
I decided to get back into vinyl after a long digitally driven absence. I’m not an audiophile by any means, more of a hobbyist.
I’ll be spinning old LPs from my youth, (mostly 70s classic rock and jazz) along with some nice new stuff I've been buying. (Beatles Mono recordings, re-mastered Zep and some more contemporary choices like Steve Earle and Trampled by Turtles, along with a bit of classical, you know, for Sunday mornings)
Anyway; I am wondering the better way to go here. I acquired an MCS 6205 that needs a belt, needle and cartridge and dustcover and some general cleaning. I've also been reading about the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon turntable and it has some excellent reviews for the level of turntable it is.
So, some advice would be great…I know I’d spend about 25% on the MCS repair as I would on the new Pro-Ject, but which is overall better for casual yet frequent listening?
Thanks!
