Turntable Records What is a good, cheap turntable to just listen to records on?
I just got interested in vinyl and I was wondering what a good turntable to just listen to records on would be for under $100. I'm just looking for something to play them that would be relatively easy to use. I don't really want anything that converts vinyl to mp3 or anything special. Thanks in advance.
There's no such thing as a new $100.00 turntable that will sound near as good as $100.00 CD boom box. As tempting as it might be to try something new, I wouldn't waste my money on a crummy turntable and vinyl records when you could get much better sound from CDs at this price point. The novelty will wear off quickly and you'll be disappointed in the sound.
If you have an existing stereo system to hook it up to... and you have a "phono" input or purchase a decent outboard phono preamp, you might be able to get a used table with a decent cartridge for around $100.00 that would give you a taste of how vinyl is really capable of sounding. Other than that, I'd try to resist the temptation of getting into vinyl unless I could spend more.
