I found that once I had a decent digital system (G08 + 5200) it sounded much better than my multi thousand pound vinyl set (full fat LP12 set up) up into the 5200s. I sold the LP12 and all its bits but just couldn't let the vinyl go even though I had bought a lot of it on CD to play through the G08. So I treated myself to a turntable that I always wanted because of its looks - Michell Gyro SE - and was surprised to find that it sounded much better than the LP12. A new arm, cartridge and phono amp over time has it sounding very nice indeed, and all bought as used items. I don't buy new music on vinyl but I can still play the hundreds of albums that I have not got on CD and I don't feel the need to replace them now.

So check out a Gyro SE.
