A.Clutter Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Im just now getting into vinyl. Any suggestions on what I should get to start out with? Looking to spend about $400-500. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GtrPlyr Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 For about $400 you can get a Rega RP1. For the money one of the best turntables you can get I believe. I got mine for $400 (Canadian) and that also came with $100 worth of vinyl from the store. http://www.stereophile.com/content/rega-rp-1-record-player Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jff Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Off topic, but turntable related: My tonearm latch that secures it to the armrest has broke while I was moving this weekend. Anyone know if this is an easy DIY repair, or do I need to take it to a shop? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 unless you are planning on moving again soon, or live in an earthquake zone, i wouldn't bother. if you have to secure it during a move, just use a twist tie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 unless you are planning on moving again soon, or live in an earthquake zone, i wouldn't bother. I have cats and a dog that chases them, so I like it to be secured when not in use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 i would keep 'em out of the room if possible...and i'd be more worried about them chewing LP corners. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
