How I upgraded to a new turntable: key considerations, optimizing mono & stereo, and what I bought!

Описание: It's been a long time coming, but I finally upgraded my turntable. In January, I announced that one of my new year's resolutions was to get out of my Marantz 6200 and into something nicer, but that I wanted to auction records off to pay for it. Well, the time has come. In this video, I'll talk about the key considerations I had with my purchase decision, how I balanced mono and stereo playback, and what I ended up going with.

If you're new to my channel, what you can expect from me is a vinyl collector's approach to the jazz genre. For years, I've only collected vintage pressings and prioritized originals of Blue Note, Prestige, Savoy, Bethlehem, Riverside, New Jazz, and more classic labels. Lately, with the resurgence of the medium and more collectors coming to the space, the music industry has taken notice and prioritized putting out high quality reissues of some of the best albums ever recorded. Subscribe to my channel to watch me navigate how to rationalize how I used to buy vs. how I buy vinyl records today.
