Right. I want to point out that this isn't an 'audiophile' thing, I just think vinyls are pretty damn awesome to have/collect and I'd like to start myself.
So I'm looking for an entry-level vinyl/record player/turntable that isn't too pricey.
I don't need built-in speakers, but a pre-amp would be nice. Something that can be upgraded in the future and has some potential would be awesome, but I understand that this isn't easy to get at low prices. Getting a cheap one now and upgrade to a more expensive one later on if I enjoy it isn't out of the question.
As for sound quality - at this stage, as long as it sounds as good as a decent CD-player it should be fine I think. I won't be able to play it super-loud anyway, and, as said, this 'project' is more for the joy of collecting vinyls rather than for the better sound quality (compared to CDs).
I see they start at around £50.. Are these just a waste of money..? Would I have to go to £100-£150 for anything half-decent?
