[Closed] New to Vinyl - Any tips?

therealthing · 2017-10-24T13:48:36Z

I've got a reasonably nice Hi-Fi/Home-Cinema system (mid-ish range components in the overall scheme of things; amps and main speakers were about £1K each etc). Never had a turntable, and thinking of getting one for no other reason than just because. Only looking to spend ~£400, but could go higher if the returns are worth it (or lower if it's not :-)). Vinyl collection* at this stage is quite small, so would build it up if I enjoy it. Any advice on what would be a good starter turntable, and any other accessories etc I should be considering? *Mostly collectables, and stuff only available on Vinyl. Always had to record them onto other formats from mates systems. For this reason, a turntable with USB out is desirable. PS. New only, can't be bothered with second hand.

+ 1 for a Rega,
Last years Xmas pressie to myself was Rega P1 with a good deal on an upgrade pack as it was old stock.
Bought to satisfy an itch I had to try vinyl again and haven’t looked back.
I love the whole ritual around not only listening to it but hunting it down in record fairs, charity shops etc

Admittedly there are more convenient ways to listen to music but having tried most vinyl is still the best ( imho )
