Budget 2-ch vinyl playback system?


I want to put a simple, inexpensive (but nice) 2-ch system for vinyl in my office but have no starting point as my main gear is all digital and I have never owned a turntable.

Don't worry about the speakers, I will build something under the guidance of Selah Audio, tailored to the rest of this system as I have done for my main system.

There is already a good thread on budget turntables so I will refer to that but I think that leaves the need for a preamp and amp as open questions.

Please let me know your thoughts regarding this topic.

Thx

If the OP has already decided to source speakers from Selah, then the simplest solution from there is a Pro-ject Debut Carbon turntable with included cartridge, and an integrated amplifier with built-in phono stage--something from Marantz, Cambridge, Creek, NAD, or Rega depending on your budget and size and power needs or limitations. For example, a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon and Rega Brio or Marantz PM8004 (which has an excellent phono stage).

I hope after 8-1/2 months the OP figured it
out.
