Where to start? New to Analog

Can someone recommend a decent introductory (used or new) phonostage and an older used turntable or something introductory level.

I could probably sneak my parents old one away ;) but I doubt it is up to snuff.

I was thinking a QED Discsaver from UHF Mag for around $150 CDN would be a good start. Since my NADC350 Integrated lacks a phono stage.

Any brand recommendations or advice on where to start for an older turntable?

I'm a University student, small budget, basically looking to experiment for as little as possible till I can leap to something worthwhile.

All thoughts recommendations, articles or pages that can provide me some more detailed background information from a beginner's prospective would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Pre amps Nad PP1 or Project Phono Box have the best price quality ratio IMO to start with the hobby.

And used Thorens TD 150 or TD 160 (or 165/ 166/ 145/ 146/ 147) are very pleasant starter- TT's. Give many posibilities for mods and tweaks
