Looking for some advice.

Basically I'm getting into buying vinyl over cds and I need to get a
new turntable to replace the decaying Kenwood stack I currently use.
I like the look of the Rega P3 so I think I'll get one of those.
However, I'm unsure of what I'll need to go along with it: do I just
need a simple amplifier and a set of speakers? what are power and
pre-amplifiers and will I require one of either of these too?


If you want freedom from audible tics and pops during LP playback, there's a
ready, working, relatively inexpensive solution, but it's in the digital
domain. Not a problem to anything but vinyl bigot ideology.

Youre probably deaf anyway. Who gives a rip what some semi-deaf tube/vinyl
bigot believes?

The technical facts aren't on the side of vinyl, and apparently
neither is technical expertise. When faced with a sticky vinyl player
setup problem, the usual list of vinyl-clutching suspects became
defensive, abusive and were at a loss to provide a viable solution.
Their final words: spend more money, and "STFU". I guess the latter
comment means that they are frustrated with suffering in silence and
expect everybody to affirm their code of silence relating to their
own personal frustrations.

Typical vinyl bigot luddite posturing.

One of these days you'll wake up to the superior sound of the CD, just like
most of the world did about 15 years ago...

This last firestorm was started by a vinyl bigot who obviously
was not content to just quietly enjoy his allegedly wonderful vinyl
system. He obviously wanted to rip his pound of flesh from the chests
of as many CD player owners as possible.

More vinyl bigot delusional posting. CD's sound better to anybody interested
in high fidelity.

Theres lots of ignorant false technical claims about digital from a
head-in-the-sand vinyl bigot.

What does "sound better" mean coming from a vinyl bigot?
Hype?
Enthusiasm?
Declining ability to hear flaws?

It would be really be a lot more fun if we could find a vinyl bigot
who really understood audio technology... ;-)
