Thanks for all the responses, both public and private. I certainly will look into the Music hall MMF turnatables, as well as the technics turntable. I've always beeb leery of B&O equipment, it looks fragile and difficult to repair. Also thanks for the advice on shipping, I'm sure your right that most people selling old turntables have no idea how to pack them
How can I get back into vinyl very cheaply?
Hi and thanks for taking the time to read my thread. I grew up in the 70's and amassed a relatively large record collection. Moreover my buddies from high school are willing to give me their old Lp's. However I don't have much in disposable income so I am wondering if there is a good TT,arm, cartridge, combo to be had for ~350$ I had a denon direct drive turntable when I was a kid, but reading this site makes my think that a belt drive table would generally be superior. I particularly am wondering what old units I should look for on ebay. There are almost 1000 units for sal on ebay and most of them are in my price range, but I really don't know for which units I should be looking. Finally as I don't even know what VTA is, ease of set up is important. I appreciate all opinions.
PS. My Musical Fidelity pre has a phono stage that is purportedly good but not great for MM and adequate for MC
