my own experience says that if 3-400$ is a bite for you, stop and do not pass go. the analog route is, imho, expensive compared to digital, and even more so to get good sound. now there are people who are very good at tuning old tables and for them not so much. i suspect you are not one of those people.
Clueless Analog Newbie, Looking to Buy
As stated in the subject, I'm new to turntables, and would like to buy my first turntable. I've got an old NAD integrated AMP and Triangle Titus speakers.
To be perfectly honest, I know absolutely nothing about turntables. Cartridges, weighing etc etc....
I guess I'm looking to buy something used or a cheap new turntable. Thinking of the pro-ject debut 3, or maybe the rega p1. Though I'm slightly hesitant to spend $3-400 on a table I know nothing about. Will the Pro-Ject need some sort of adapter to play 45s?
Any suggestions? Or should I just stick with CDs?
