I'm pretty new to all this.
I have a 2000XL and a Pioneer PLX-1000 turntable.
I don't have any DJ background. I'm using an old entry level audiophile grade phono stage I had in storage between the turntable and the 2000XL (musical fidelity X-PS). It all works OK.
From what I see of most people's setups, they are using a DJ mixer as a phono preamp.
Benefits I can see is it will give me more gain control (I can control the signal level going into the 2000XL), and it will give me bass middle and high equalisation options and filter options.
I am starting some research into good buys. It seems that most of the current models are digital rather than analog. Is this correct?
I'm worried that this will take away some of the magic of using vinyl in the first place - the resolution and dynamic range.
Am I being too OCD about this?
Love to hear people's knowledge and experiences here.
