best value beginner turntable

Hello all,

I am hoping some of the audiophile experts here can help me out! Currently I have paradigm 11 v.5 speakers and a NAD326BEE integrated amp. I did have a Audio Technia LP60, but just returned it. New records were skipping and I read some things and talked to some people that said low-grade Audio Technias could do that and also end up damaging the records.

So, now that I have returned it. I am looking at where to go from there. Ideally, I don't want to spend more than a couple hundred dollars right now... Just looking to get started.

The LP60 had a built in phono preamp, so I am thinking if I don't get one like that again I also will have to get a phono preamp.

Any suggestions on a beginner turntable with a built in preamp? Or, suggestions on a beginner turntable and an external phono preamp?

Thanks!

Hi Buconero

Regarding the Denon 47F recommendation. Are parts for the older Denon TTs still available? I like the look and build quality of the older Denon TTs but from what I've gathered finding parts for them should there be a problem is very difficult. Would the newer Denon TTs from recent years be a better fit?

Thanks
