I recommend you look at a P2 or P3 Rega turntable. Rega has been making tables for 50 years. Their tables look great as well in my opinion. I can totally relate as I mainly stream music as well but you can’t replicate the feel and experience of the large artwork, record and dropping the needle. A lot of fun and just super nostalgic feeling. Best of luck on your new journey.
Turntable recommendation
My wife and I are looking into getting a turntable. It would get light use as we mostly stream music via Qobuz. Current system is Bluesound Node, Yamaha CD-S303, Schiit Saga+, Schiit Vidar, NSMT Chorus 25 speakers and NSMT EXP15 sub. We do not have a record collection as of yet. Based on current gear and the fact that it will get light use. What makes sense? The $379 Yamaha CD player gets light use as well. Seems like a reasonable place to start budget-wise unless its all junk at this price point.
