I'm fairly new gear also. I have seen no indication that there is any interest in TT's and accessories. Along with Yamahaluver's suggestio you could check out www.audioreview.com and www.audioasylum.com. They both have extensive analog coverage. I will advise that audioreview.com seems to have been taken over by strict objectivists. They deny the differences that capacitors and resistors can make in a system. Don't even try to suggest that cables can sound different. You will receive an avalanche of vitriol all referring to DBT. Audio asylum can be just as bad but there are a lot of subjectivists there so it balances out.
