Hi..
First things first. This is a really really nice portal. I spent the first hour (post registering), just dabbling around reading threads. Really nice and informative.
Now coming to the point...
I am interested to purchase a TT. It would be a beginners TT. Nothing too jazzy, something simple to which I can attach speakers (or would I need an amplifier -- sorry am a noob). At my home town I have like 3-4 large cartons full of well maintained LPs (Hindi/some rock/tons of classical) -- and I sure do not want to sell them off, or give them away.
I would prefer shops in New Delhi / NCR region so I can see the device(s), but am open for online too. Though seeing the tangible product would be much better.
My budget would be 10K for comfort, but I can stretch it to 15K if the TT really interests me -- in terms of quality and recommendations from you guys.
Also wanted to ask:
Is it possible (or theoretically) to hook up the TT to my PC. Not for analog -- digital transfer, just so that the sound is routed via my PC to the speakers connected to my PC. Would I loose quality/grain via this method. I have a MSI - Platinum P45 motherboard with Xfire HD4890s for HD audio and the board has a RealTEK 5.1 sound chip. Though this is secondary. And a wish list requirement. Priority is to procure a TT and get decent sound out of it.
Thanks a ton to all.
