I would like to start with a greeting from Israel and say that this is the place I feel most comfortable receiving real advice from, because it is the most professional place for the audio around the internet AFAIK
As of today, I bought Sennheiser x Drop 6xx headphones and they are on their way to me.
I am considering purchasing Schiit stack for them:
Asgard 3 AMP + Modius DAC.
In addition, I want to invest and make my dad happy with a turntable and speakers so we can sit together and listen to records, as he sat with his father 30-40 years ago and spent a joint listening while sipping whiskey, even though in Ukraine they probably drank vodka with salted fish and green onions.
I wanted to ask - can Modius + Asgard 3 somehow connect to a turntable if the turntable does not have a built-in phono preamp? Or will I have to buy a phono preamp anyway because Asgard 3 does not have a module (?)?
I would love to get recommendations on speakers that are suitable for listening from a distance of about 4-5 meters.
Is it worth buying neutral monitors such as KRK ROKIT or JBL 306P MK II? Or go for bookshelf speakers instead?
Wow. So much to learn.
My budget for a turntable is about $ 800, and I probably need to replace the cartridge, SO...
In short - I am 26 years old, not earning enough to afford a Hi-Fi audio system for full 'eargasm' experience, but I am a person of Buy once, Cry once, so I would love to know what the normal budget is that will give me good quality for the money without going bankrupt.
Thanks!
