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?

Either of those TT's would be ideal to start with. I started with a music hall 2.1 and really saw (heard!) how enjoyable vinyl is! It's now my favorite source.
Man, I don't think I've ever a Mellow hasrshed so much. Sheesh.

It's really shameful that a lot of the post on this thread are just mean spirited instead of helpful. It is no wonder more people don't want to get into this hobby.
Nobody on Audiogon who gets into vinyl stops at Costco towels, a spray
bottle of cleaning fluid and a $2 Magic Eraser.

True, but a lot of people start there.
