Hi,50 bucks a pop is alot of money for an lp.I go to flea markets,estate sales,used record stores.Records run 10cents to 5bucks,stores higher.Most stores will take trades of cds for credit or cash.Sites like DELMARK/JAZZMART have great deals, also try MOSIAC records.There prices on new jazz lps and some blues are great.Don't know what inexpensive means to ya,$350 will get you a nice new table,used 50 and up.GOOD LUCK,KP
Record wear
I'm tempted to get into analog, but have next to no experience. I'm considering starting with an inexpensive table, cartridge, etc. to test the waters. If things work out, I'll upgrade.
Some of the records can run fairly pricey, like the Analogue Productions 45s. In my inexperience, I'm concerned that a lower-end system may introduce a lot of record wear before I jump into a better system. Should this be a concern?
If this shouldn't be a concern, any recommendations for reasonably-priced components? Thanks!
