If this is your first serious venture into vinyl and you don't currently have a lot of records to play - I'd consider a Rega P8 with an Ania cartridge and my rationale is:
- It's a high quality turntable that is fix and forget it.
- The turntable has a lifetime guarantee so if you decide to 'go deeper' there will be a market for it.
- The built in phono stage will support the MC cartridge
- You can spend money on vinyl and vinyl cleaning solution (e.g. Audio Deske)
My alternate is to buy something you can upgrade in steps like a Linn LP 12.
