N272 and Turntable

Slight post mis-fire.  Nothing to see here, let's all kiss & make up.

FWIW Monkadill, I use a pretty similar level of vinyl replay to the attempted 'proof of concept' - a pretty cheap old turntable, with a Rega Fono Mini phono stage into my 172.  I only have a few records, and no intention of going wholesale into vinyl.  But I do enjoy playing those records I have occasionally, and my setup allows me to do so quite well, given that I'm not aiming for the stars quality-wise.

So if it's a tentative first step you're taking, but intending to aim high, then yeah, get something posh.  But if you just want to enjoy some records once in a while, something like a Fono Mini can give pleasing results.

Thanks of the tip. My stance is the same as yours and I'm not investing big money in the record deck.

Rega Planner 1 + Fono Mini A2D Phono Pre-Amplifier perhaps?

I'd try to audition a couple of TTs/phono stages around the same level (just try a Pro-Ject equivalent etc) to be sure you've made the choice, but on the face of it, for the level required, sounds like a good idea.
