Audiophyte
I have an Onkyo TX-NR636 receiver powering 6 Polk Audio RTi 6 speakers with a Polk Audio subwoofer of the same series, typical 6.1 setup.
I have a turntable as part of the system but plan on giving it to my son as he is wanting to start a vinyl collection and I will use this opportunity to upgrade what I have. I have a collection of Jazz albums dating from the early 50's to the early 70's that he will inherit.
It has been decades since I have been involved in the audiophile world and know things have changed considerably during my absence.
Doing some research I found this thread and discovered my Onkyo may present some problems due to phono amp performance. However I am not of the mind to replace an otherwise well performing unit, and frankly am too dang old to move all the furniture required.
So, with the concern of my phono input on my amp perhaps being subpar, what turntable and stylus would be a good match to offset the limitations of the amp? I do have spare audio input on the Onkyo.
