Budget Turntable

My brother-in-law is looking for a new budget turntable that will provide the best possible sound while on a tight budget. He has about 50 LPs and does not think he will be investing in others.

What I had in mind was either the Rega P3-24 (TT + RB301 + Elys 2) or the Clearaudio Emotion (TT + CMB + Satisfy + Maestro). What do you guys think?

Also, what would you suggest for a budget phono stage for these turntable combos?

Last, what about a budget external power supply (if any) for these turntable combos?

I should have warned you not to get the Technics people riled up...

If he has 50 LP's and no plans to get any more, I recommend the following procedure:

1) Buy a Project Debut III with integrated phono pre-amp and USB output.

2) Play all 50 albums with the USB cable from the TT to your computer.

3) Put turntable and 50 lp's up for sale on Audiogon as a package deal.

Vinyl playback is something of a commitment. If you're not going to "do" the format, do away with it.

You'll feel cleansed.

Cheers.
