Turntable newbie in need for newbie help


OK, here is how it all started :
I did buy a few LPs of a particular band (CDs badly remastered).
But I don't have anything to play them, and was wondering how to make a choice.
I will not buy new, for shure...

I don't want something grrrrreat! I just want somethig that's going to keep up with the rest of my setup (wich might not be fabulous but really satisfies me).

I use an AMC integrated (pre)amp with Energy (XL16) speakers.

I saw some Marantz 6150 on ebay, seemed nice (I like that simple old school class), but could'nt tell if it's right (by itself or for my setup).

Please excuse my english that might not be perfect -- I hope you guys can help me out a little.
Thanks.

First : thank you all for youre help.

Second : I took a look at what is available here on Audiogon and on ebay. There is not a lot for my budget (witch is -- i guess -- almost to be achaimed of...).

I saw (here) a Dual 522 and a dual 505 at prices I can afford. But I'm not shure about the type of construction (whole setup floating in a box)

"the AR TT" : would be my first choice -- over bdget though. I love the type of construction.

BD2/a : did not finf any.

I did see a Sansui 222 tt wich seemed nice for price I could really afford. Read some good comments.

Enough. To keep things short, I'd like to know what you think about the way Dual 522 and such are built and your impressions on Sansui 222 (other models not being intersting as I have read) and Lenco L85.
