What's a good not too pricey turntable?[views:5403][posts:16]_______________________________________________ [Mar 25,2012 9:18pm - illinoisenemaBradness ""] I have shit luck. Since I moved here I've had 2 record players die. One was an 80$ shitbox from ShopKo(like Caldors/Lechmere) that the motor mount collapsed into itself and the other was my original one from years ago. Anyways I want something decent, that you can still get needles for, that won't speed up and slow down while playing. Ya know, something REAL |

He gave me about a 3ft stack of records too, some nice classics. I paid like $50 for the turntable and receiver, both are great quality. |

| _______________________________________________ [Mar 26,2012 1:16pm - illinoisenemaBradness ""] hrm. Maybe a used pawn shop item. I know direct drive is better, it's more cash though. Thanks |

| ______________________________________ [Mar 26,2012 1:51pm - the_reverend ""] either go to the good will and get something massive or spend about $100 and get one of the USB to TT things. |

| ______________________________________ [Mar 26,2012 1:53pm - the_reverend ""] I suggest the numark, but the gemini is decent too. |
| _______________________________________________ [Mar 26,2012 1:55pm - illinoisenemaBradness ""] I had one of the USB kind, I thought it sounded like garbage. I think it was a Gemini, I don't remember though. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 26,2012 2:00pm - the_reverend ""] geminis are knock offs of technics. |
| ____________________________ [Mar 26,2012 7:59pm - Uh ""] This is what I have or close enough. http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-AT-PL...irect-Drive-Turntable/dp/B00012EYNG The design is based off the Technics 1200 without spending a million dollars. It's heavy and seems well built. Has a built in pre-amp which is useful if your receiver doesn't have a phono jack, but I wouldn't recommend using it... doesn't sound that great. USB is a useless feature, since you can always just plug the RCA into your sound card or mic-in jack with the adapter that comes with it or that is like $2. |
