I have the Art DJPree II. $50 on Amazon. Way better than the Pyle low ender for about $25.....but still not very impressed with it.
I also have an old TT. A Sony direct drive with Grado’s lowest end cart. I still get the sense it should sound better than it does. I’m not into vinyl and resisting the urge to go there.
If I did, and given my meagre expectations, I’d get the Schiit Mani and probably buy a basic U-Turn turntable.
