Starter system


I am trying to put together a stereo system for my 23yo daughter who’s into vinyl.  T
 

Thinking about buying a Pioneer PL 600 turntable and JVC RX 206BK receiver for $50. Turntable needs a new belt which I think is easy to fix. Likely needs new cartridge. Does this seem like a reasonable plan. Ideas about speakers?  Or cartridge?

Thanks.

The turntable is perfect for her. Plenty of under $75 cartridges available for it. Unless she really wants to have FM/AM (which I would doubt, she'll stream if not listening to vinyl), I'd suggest an integrated amp instead of a receiver, looking on this site and others, they go from $50 to $600, you'll get more wattage, perhaps features (like 2 tape-in's so she can stream into one of them and still have the other available) and most likely better sound/better brands then going with a receiver. 

Speakers - bookshelf or floor? Prince range? In most cases I would suggest new-fairly new rather then used/old.
