I just ordered one, and will go shopping for new vinyls later today.
Here are the deets:
Love the rich, warm sound of vinyl, but wish it was a more portable music format? mobilize your music with the Crosley cruiser three-speed portable turntable. Constructed of wood and Bound in a leatherette material, the briefcase-styled record player is lightweight and easily transported from place to place. Built-in stereo speakers let you listen to your music without having to connect it to a speaker system, so you can cruise over to a friend's house and experience vinyl's superior sound together. Adjustable Pitch control lets you customize your listening experience. There's also built-in Bluetooth, allowing you to stream your favorite music from your Bluetooth-enabled device wirelessly to the cruiser's dynamic full-range speakers.
Crosley CR8005D-TU Cruiser Deluxe Portable 3-Speed Turntable with Bluetooth, Turquoise https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IWIBKGE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_NK53ybBVVT51G
Position looks ok, I used a manual Shure scale as well as this digital scale and results were about the same.
Also, your scale looks like its got some, uh, dust? on it.
New to vinyl, but when I did my research a month ago, this was the most cemented rule in all forums: don't buy a Crosley. But, I found that there was one exception that seemed it's only negative was it's name (for the price): Crosley C10A-NA.
It's basically a Pro-Ject with a Crosley wrapper, but I liked the look, the price seemed right, and the only review that complained about it a bit was specific to the generic cartridge used (Ortofon OM5e cartridge). Other than that, it seemed to be a very well made record player.
Paired it with a PS Audio Sprout and plugged into my Sonos PLAY:5 via headphone out and it sounds great. I mainly listen to big band music.
I'm not too self-conscious about the decision, but I'm always looking for second opinions. I'll make another round of purchases in a while to get a pair of proper monitor speakers and a cartridge upgrade (always looking for suggestions).
Not a shill, just like to point out where they (or Pro-Ject, basically) got it right (or risk being yelled at if I'm still wrong).
1byone Belt-Drive 3-Speed Stereo Turntable with Built in Speakers, Natural Wood (471NA-0003) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GO1SP1E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_4ZRPAb088K2E1
I'd buy it from Amazon brand new for 10 bucks more: MMF 2.2
Oh, and it's a great table! Also, there's the U-turn Orbit for $200, but the Music Hall is better. Annnnd those "upgrades" in the CL ad are not really upgrades worth paying for.
Depends man, if ya just want to collect records recordstore.co.uk, tower records.
For turntables, for the love of god stay away from Crosley and any of the ones that look like little suitcases, 50's design etc, unless you're gonna play records rarely. They tend to damage the grooves on vinyl due to the needle heads being far to heavy.
Audio-Technica AT-LP60 USB Fully Automatic Belt-Drive Stereo Turntable https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00EUSMFPQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_1swfAbNJE9F98
AKAI Professional BT100 Bluetooth Enabled Premium Performance Belt-Drive Turntable https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01C8PSRTU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_NAwfAb1BTNJQG
These are pretty good starters, and won't wear out your vinyl collection.
While the Crosley isn't exactly a tool of Satan that will chew up your record in half a dozen plays, it's nowhere near high-quality either. There's a reason why it's so cheap compared to all those other turntables out there.
Quick rundown of how record players work: the record has grooves in which the stylus/needle sits. When the record spins, the needle is dragged through the grooves and vibrates. However, the vibrations are very tiny and need to be amplified, which is done by the cartridge that connects the needle to the tonearm. Moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges make the vibration of the needle cause a magnet to move through a wire coil (or a wire coil around a magnet, respectively), which induces an electrical pulse. Ceramic cartridges, meanwhile, use piezoelectricity, which is where a vibration through a certain type of ceramic creates an electrical pulse. MM and MC cartridges also need a pre-amp to further boost the sound before it reaches the speakers, but ceramic cartridges don't, thus making them more appealing to market as an "all in one" unit.
Crosley Cruisers use ceramic cartridges instead of MMs or MCs, because they're significantly cheaper and allows you to forego the pre-amp. However, they require more tracking force (how hard the needle pushes down on the record) to get the same volume level. This means that they wear down records faster. It's not immediately perceptible, but if you use records on it frequently, then play it on a high-end turntable to compare, there'll be a visible dip in sound quality. This is also why it's bad to tape a penny to the head of a tonearm—it makes the sound louder for a ceramic cartridge, but also wears down the record more quickly.
Furthermore, Cruisers have several other design flaws: they don't have an adjustable counterweight (meaning you can't make it press down any lighter), the built-in speakers are mediocre, there's often a noticeable warble or variation to the speed, you can't close the lid while it's playing (the record hangs out over the edge), you can't detach the lid, and there's a risk of it tipping over. Its only real value that it has over other styles is the branding and retro aesthetic.
If you want to get it, ask yourself a question: are you on the fence about collecting records, or do you plan on seriously getting it? I'm sure that for plenty of people on this sub (me included), the Crosley was their gateway to getting interested in the hobby. So my advice is that if you have any certainty about collecting your records, save up your money a bit more and buy a more durable and higher-quality starter option like the AudioTechnica AT-LP60X. If you know you're gonna get into it, why buy a turntable that you're gonna immediately upgrade from anyway? Or better yet, check out thrift stores, Craigslist, ebay, etc. and see if you can get a decent turntable from the 70s or 80s for a good price.
TL;DR if you're not really sure at all if you wanna collect records, it's worth giving it a try. But if you know you're gonna collect records and are just wondering about your starter model, then skip it and go for something that you won't have to upgrade for a while.
This is the model I've got! I'm not an audiophile by any stretch, but I like it well enough.
Also, YMMV, but I really enjoyed these if your collection winds up taking off. Makes for some lazy-ass wall art.
It's an okay turntable, but for that price range you should go with a Pro-Ject Debut or a Rega RP1.
ORRRR, for a lot less money, troll the Craigslists in the area. Look for anything that has solid, heavy construction, adjustable anti-skate and tracking force, stuff like that. You should pay between $100 and $200, and don't feel bad to ask somebody if you want to know if you're getting a good deal.
Or better yet the AT-LP60XBT, which has a Bluetooth transmitter built-in: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N3RFXRL
if you’re wanting something user friendly and relatively cheap, i’d go with the audio technica at-lp60.
Audio-Technica At-LP60X-GM Fully Automatic Belt-Drive Stereo Turntable, Gunmetal/Black, Hi-Fidelity, Plays 33 -1/3 and 45 RPM Vinyl Records, Dust Cover, Anti-Resonance, Die-Cast Aluminum Platter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N3X7KPX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_a22ZDbGTAWGW5
fully automatic and it comes with a pretty nice stylus. this was my main turntable for a while
whatever you do don’t get a crosley unless you want warped/scratched records
The Numark PT01.
http://www.amazon.com/Numark-PT01USB-Turntable/dp/B001ECQ6PG
Not good for scratching, just purely for sampling. Portable too, so you can take it with you to record shops to preview records before you buy.
Amp
NAD 3020 V2 ($399) has:
Turntable
U-Turn Audio ($309) have gotten good reviews from the few people I know that have picked one up. They look nice and do their job.
Speakers
This is way trickier and way more personal, I personally have had very good luck with used gear from Swans, Canton, Mirage, Chario and JBL that I would have never been able to afford new and have been very happy with. The only speakers I've gotten brand new recently were the Elac B6 and I enjoyed them too.
Some options with the rest of your budget ~$500
Wharfedale Denton 80th (~$500) Absolutely beautiful, review well, I only had a brief listen in person so can't entirely vouch but I liked what I heard
Elac UB5 (~$400) Very nice bookshelf, the concentric set up for the mid range and tweeter is nice and slick and fits a 3 way design into a bookshelf footprint nicely.
Monitor Audio Bronze 2 (~$500) Again, lovely design, enjoyed them when I auditioned them but ended up going with some used Cantons that time.
For $25 it could be worth it, but you'll probably want to look at it and/or ask for a demonstration first. Like /u/AmadeusK482 said, parts such as the headshell or cartridge make or break a deal, and if they're missing it could cost you a good amount for a replacement (an entry level cartridge like the AT95e costs ~$50 for example). Ultimately it probably is a step up from you're current TT, but before you pull the trigger shop around a little bit and make sure you know you're getting a clean and functional table.
On a side note, if you're concerned about the amount of wear you're putting on your records, you might want to consider investing in a tracking force gauge like this or this. This will let you see the amount of pressure the LP60, or any TT you upgrade to, puts on your records. As general rule of thumb a vertical tracking force of under 4g is considered healthy, but the ideal weight varies according to the specific cartridge.
Look for a used vintage turntable, often direct drive with quartz lock. Then a used stereo or AV receiver with a pair of used bookshelf speakers. Or one part new and one part used if not finding both used.
For new: Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB $249 with low budget $50 6-1/2" 2-Way Bookshelf Speaker Pair and Hi-Fi Mini Amplifier Bundle.
Or a step up, Fluance RT82 $299 with Onkyo TX-8020 stereo receiver with speakers:
Speaker wire (not needed for the $50 bundle): Pure Copper Oxygen Free 14 Gauge Speaker Wire 50 ft, with self adjusting wire strippers or 4 Ways to Strip Wire - wikiHow. Optionally add banana plugs. Set with banana plugs, AmazonBasics buy 2 for a pair.
Speaker Stands: Size to get speaker tweeter at ear height from your seated listening position. Low budget Dayton Audio SSMB24 or Monoprice Glass.

The turntable is a 1byone Belt-Drive turntable which is on sale right now for $60! I got the album at a vinyl store near me for about $30 but you might be able to get it on Amazon for a cheaper price!
No two ways about it, an RP1/P1 is an entry level turntable. Probably top of the entry level but entry level all the same.
You can probably find a used or dealer clearance RP3 for around $700 in Canada on Canuck Audio Mart (might have to buy a cheap cartridge to tide you over until you can upgrade). $699 is way too much for an RP1.
The sad sad truth, however, is that a new turntable isn't going to be an "out of body experience". There are so many factors that contribute to a quality listening experience. The deck itself is one part, cartridge is another (equally as important as the turntable) and the phono preamp is the third. This is an over simplification but That is your very basic "trinity" when it comes to a quality listening experience from a turntable.
Here are a few used turntable worth checking out in Canada.

Not all Crosley's are junk. 99% of them are lol.

I've already been told I need a phono preamp. Do I need anything else? A receiver, or another amplifier? A: You will need either a receiver or amp also.
This is the exact pre-amp and amp I bought and they work really good for starting out.
How can I tell what quality my needle is in/whether I need a new one? A: the quickest way is to set everything up and play a record you don't care about. If it plays good then you are set, if not then you will need a new cart probably, these typically come with a new needle.
Kind of along the same lines, how do I make sure the needle/tonearm is correctly balanced? A: look up the manufactor's tracking force for that cart. then use one of these to see what your tracking force is. You'll adjust the tracking force using your counter weight. Also your anti-skating force is typically the same as your tracking force, but check your manufactures specifications. This video will show you how to adjust your cart so it track right across the whole record.
If you need a new cart, either ask here after you get done testing the one on it, or google Sanyo TP 1010 cartridge replacements. I personally am a fan Shure carts and needles.
I hope this helps.
Is it a good idea to pick up an Audio-Technica LP 120? It's $300 CAD, $80 off on Amazon currently. I got a cheap Ion currently and it's terrible. I think anything would be an upgrade at this point, but I'm wondering if this is the right direction. A local pawn shop is selling a Technics SL-D202 for $50 CAD but it requires a new needle (and cartridge probably). The rubber mat looks a little rough too. Hopefully wouldn't be too hard to find a replacement. I don't want this to become a project that's going to require me hundreds of dollars to be constantly fixing though. Any thoughts?
My sister bought me the Numark PT01 Turntable for Christmas. Can anyone tell me if it is of decent quality from a beginner's standpoint? If not, what can be added to improve it? I know my sister meant well when she bought me this but I don't want to damage the vinyls I just started purchasing.
Hi this may be a stupid question, but I've just bought a record player and I was wondering if there was a way to increase its volume output?
I've got the Audio-Technica AT-LP60 and my speakers are [Logitech Z623s]( Logitech 2.1 Speaker System Z623 )
The only way my vinyls play at a decent level is if I turn the volume up to max, but to get the same volume out of my TV, Xbox etc I only need it about 1/4 of the volume it's at.
Is there any way to change the volume/s or am I going to have to buy a whole new set of speakers?
I use one of those cheap USB ones and it works pretty well. I'll try and find the same model.
Edit: here it is http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005A9ZYI4/ref=pd_aw_sim_sbs_23_of_42?ie=UTF8&dpID=41kUs5koPFL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_SL500_SR100%2C100_&refRID=1ZVR2ZP43DR9ZG77MACB
The built-in speakers will not give you a pleasant experience, but if you *insist*, Numark's portable players are of decent quality in that price range. They are also battery operated, which is cool if you want to take one out in the world.

I have the Scratch version, It's basically the same, but has a crossfader (ish) built in. I'm guessing you don't need that. I'm very happy with it, but I wouldn't use the built-in speaker for listening to music. That's just me though :) Good luck.
If you just want a really cheap TT and don't care about the quality or longevity of it get this SoundLAB. It has an adjustable counterweight, functioning anti-skate, and a decent cartridge. It's probably not going to last very long, and it won't sound amazing, but it's not going to wear out your records prematurely like the LP60/LX300.
https://www.amazon.com/ION-Profile-LP-Vinyl-to-MP3-Turntable/dp/B0029QRA1U mine is this is at least very similar. Found it at TJ Maxx for $40 hahahah
Ooo I don't use a brush, I forgot those were a thing! I have this player. I've noticed it does it on my Purple Rain album during Let's Go Crazy, and has since the first time I played it, but last night is started skipping in different places towards the end of the song.
Is this the one you're talking about? I think I can afford this.
Yeah I got both, the anti-static inner sleeves and some outer sleeves but Deathconsciousness is a fucking bitch to put in an outer sleeve. My records are my most prized possession so I just dropped a bunch of money to try to preserve them
Crosley actually now makes a few decent turntable. If it has a counterweight on the end of the tonearm by the pivot and a replaceable cartridge, you are fine. Avoid the ones that look like suitcases or vintage radios. They have ceramic non-replaceable cartridges. I believe the one you may referring to is fine. It's made at the same plant as Pro-Ject turntables.

$400 is pricey for this model. Amazon has it for a lot less.
https://www.amazon.com//dp/B015ACX5T0
Awesome!
Mine came in the mail yesterday, so I'm still playing around with them, but the HSU horns are absolutely fantastic. The crazy part to me is how low they get. When I first put them up, I thought my sub was on. It's crazy. They're also very cool because they don't have higher highs than normal, which is pretty common for horns. Even my Heresy IIIs have slightly tipped up highs. The HSUs however, aren't like that. They're flatter, but not the boring flat. They're still fun, dynamic, and punchy.
If you're looking for something a bit more dynamic and it a bit higher highs, klipsch RP bookshelves will do the trick.
For a turntable, u turn makes great stuff. Also, you can get one with a built in pre
A full receiver like this would give you the best sound quality and the most options.
Finally, you need a phono pre-amp. This one from Schiit should work great.
I have a technics 1210 which they stopped making. I had got it used for like $350 on ebay about 5 years ago. These were the standard in dj turntables, but no longer in production. It is a tank.
Stanton also has almost the same table which are still in production

This seems to be the knockoff of the one I have by audio technica, but I have never owned one.

These are all direct drive, so some people here may prefer belt driven if you are just listening to music. I do not know much about those type, but if you want to move the record while it is spinning you need a direct drive which is why they are popular for DJs. Supposedly Belt Driven are better for pure listening, but I can not confirm this statement.
To check the tracking force, I ended up buying a small digital scale. Here's the one I use (only ~$25): http://www.amazon.com/Professional-Digital-Turntable-Precise-Jewellery/dp/B00BSP48HC/ref=pd_cp_MI_0
Just make sure to look up the proper tracking force for your cartridge (a quick Google search should do it).
Yes.
This is a good entry level model. This is the cheapest new one that isn't shit and will begin to give you the legendary vinyl sound quality that blows away digital recordings.

It was a gift, so I'm not entirely sure. I believe it was ordered online from amazon, or something similar.

> It would be sweet if I could find an album cabinet that stores everything and has a record player and speakers built in.
You're not going to find that (unless it's something massive like a 70's era console TV) because as soon as the volume is turned up, the needle will start jumping.
I'm looking to buy my first turntable and i'm wondering what people think about the Audio-Technica AT-LP60. Should i get it or do you recommend something else?
You're going to laugh at me but somebody gave me this one,

It has an RCA output but I'm suspicious because I thought the output from turntable was some sort of special phono format that you need to plug into a mixer or other input specially designed for use with a turntable.
The Music Hall MMF 2.2 is still on Amazon, for $299.

I'd recommend the Numark PT-01, it's decent quality and has a built in preamp so you can hook it up directly to any speakers without a preamp, and it also has a small built in speaker. I'd avoid the pyle turntable at all costs.
Here's the numark:
http://www.amazon.com/Numark-PT01USB-Turntable/dp/B001ECQ6PG
Alright, here's what I've put together for you:
Total: $1,018.99
Logic:
Turntable:
Rega turntables are some of the best in the world, and their quality extends all the way down the line. I have the step-up mode, the P3, and love it. $400 is roughly the entry point for a "good" turntable, which I think is a solid investment given your budget.
Speakers
The JBL LSR series is very well regarded on r/audiophile. They are generally considered to be the best powered monitors on the market. Being powered means you don't have to buy a separate amplifier, saving money. If you want to save some money, you can drop down to the LSR305, which has a smaller woofer. It will not have as much bass power as the 308, but it costs $200 less for the pair (NOTE: The Amazon link is for a single speaker, not a pair)
Phono Preamp
You'll need one of these, because the signal coming out of the tone arm on the turntable is very low voltage. The phono preamp brings it up to a level that is powerful enough to be amplified further by the speakers. You can spend more, but you don't need more than the Pyle (I have one at home that I'd honestly mail to you, but Amazon Prime is probably cheaper than the cost of shipping for me :P)
Passive Preamp
This is a volume knob and a input switch. That's all. Volume knob because the speakers have the volume knob on the back, and have separate knobs per speaker. Didn't think you'd want to mess with that. Two inputs so you can hook up your turntable and your computer, or your phone, etc.
RCA-to-XLR cable
Because the JBL monitors are targeted at pro recording studios, they use "balanced" XLR cables instead of traditional RCA. The reasons for doing so are irrelevant, but you will need an adapter cable.
If that's too much money
As I said earlier, you could drop down to the JBL LSR305 (again, link is a single speaker, not a pair). That would bring the total down to $818.99. If you wanted to save money, this is where I would do it.
Another option is to switch turntables to the U-Turn Orbit. It starts at $179, but I'd definitely add the cue lever for $40. I wouldn't spend more on other options though, not worth the money. If you go this route, treat this turntable as your starter, then replace it later.
If you tell me your local craigslist, I can look around and see if there are any good deals, but the above is going to be pretty hard to beat.
By all means, feel free to ask me any and all questions. I love doing this kind of research for people, so it's no skin off my back. I want to make sure you enjoy Ride the Lightning in all it's rifftastic glory :D
Has anyone had a good experience purchasing the LP120 on amazon refurbished as seen from this link - Audio-Technica AT-LP120-USB Direct-Drive Professional Turntable (USB & Analog) Certified Refurbished https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GQKV6AU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_0CsXzbGVGR3F0

These are budget recommendations that will get you good sound and good quality. If you want to go crazy on high end stuff you will want to do more research on the audiophile sub.
I'm not an expert on record players, but I've been happy with this one, an Ion. The best part (besides being cheap!) is that you can play it on ANY stereo that has audio inputs; lots of higher-end turntables require a preamp. While by no means THE BEST TURNTABLE EVERRR, it's done well for me. :)
I just got this one as a christmas present. It is a USB TT with a built in preamp which usually means poor sound, but has a counterweight so at least it wont damage records. It's half off on Amazon right now for $66.
What kind of TT do you have now? From my understanding 70's thru early 80's were the best years for TT's. You can find a midrange Technics for under a $100 on CL, Ebay, Garage sale, or a Thrift store.
It doesn't solve that problem, and it's expensive, but you can get a turntable that converts to MP3.
That one doesn't look good but it's an example.

Are you not using an AI? You can find plenty of cheap turntables, but cheap turntables will let you down, so you don't want bottom of the barrel. Here's what I have. I actually only paid $50 once I caught it on sale. https://www.amazon.com/Numark-Portable-Vinyl-Archiving-Turntable-Records/dp/B001ECQ6PG/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1518276994&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=numark+turntable&psc=1
Hi! Trying to get a vinyl player as cheap as possible so I can listen to Maroon 5's upcoming vinyl record.
[how good is this one?] (https://www.amazon.ca/1byone-Belt-Drive-Turntable-Headphone-Turquoise/dp/B00XVJF2JG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1474784076&sr=8-2&keywords=turntable) I don't have a lot of funds so literally looking for as cheap as possible
Anybody have any experience with audiotechnica's new bluetooth unit (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BE5CT8U/ref=twister_B01BHMYA9Q?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1)? Is it any good?
I move around a fair amount, and for the next few years it'll be too frequently to really justify mooving all my records, and my setup. However, there are a couple of good record stores near me, and buying vinyl without being able to listen to it when you get home is maddening, so I'm looking for a second turntable that isn't quite as cumbersome as my AT-120 and HK receiver.
Obviously there will be a dropoff in quality if you go for anything bluetooth, I'm alright with that. My primary concern is damage to my records themselves. I noticed the unit doesn't have a counterweight, and I know there's a tendency to err on the side of too much weight in these kinds of builds. But besides that, if it sounds absolutely terrible for the money I don't know that I want to go that route either.
Thoughts? Opinions? General comments?
Record players are on a huge come back

You're right the mechanical one is not cheap! This is totally worth it to not have to balance out the tonearm and deal with the indicator ring.
Do I measure the weight with anti skate on or off?
The turntable you listed, is it like this one?
Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT-BK Fully Automatic Bluetooth Belt-Drive Stereo Turntable, Black, Hi-Fidelity, Plays 33 -1/3 and 45 RPM Vinyl Records, Dust Cover, Anti-Resonance, Die-cast Aluminum Platter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N3RFXRL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_srnzDbHX250ZP
If not then what do you think about that one? Good for its price or should I avoid it at all costs?
What about getting a Music Hall 2.2? https://www.amazon.com/Music-Hall-Driven-Turntable-Cartridge/dp/B001FUF8FQ/
Can anyone tell me whether its worth more to get one of these refurbished from KAB? (technics from the 80s) Or would it be better for me to go for a refurbished LP120? Its little enough more to where I would consider it if it had the features. I don't care about digitizing anything for the most part, I just want a turntable that can play in good quality without messing up records.
This might be the first time I️ recommend an all-in-one suitcase turntable to someone. Here ya go, OP.
This is a great affordable turntable that should do the trick. I have 2 and they are amazing for the price. I have used the included software to convert vinyl, but not very much. Others might have a suggestion for better software.
Thanks for the help. The cartridge is the same one that came with the product. It hasn't been replaced. It looks exactly the same as the one that is on the product picture on this amazon page. Also pictured is the Audio Technica stylus that came with the turntable (or at least, it looks exactly the same as the one I have here). I can't find any information on the cartridge itself, so I don't know where to go from there.
What's your budget? The Numark PT01 USB may be one to consider.

Thanks for the reply! I think that I would be willing to spend a little bit more for the right deal. I noticed in the the suggested entry-level players, the Crosley C10 was listed. It's on sale for $260 on Amazon. Would I be stupid to pass this deal up?
I know these questions are discouraged but I am looking for a nice / higher end record player for my girlfriend for Valentine's Day. Would be nice if it s Bluetooth and doesn't fuck up her vinyls (like previous players have) is this a nice player?

I currently own a Bose Soundtouch 10 (https://www.bose.co.uk/en_gb/products/speakers/smart_home/soundtouch-10-wireless-system.html).

Sorry if the question is really stupid im new to this and as far as I'm aware I should be able to use an adaptor to connect the RCA output on the turntable to the Aux input on the speakers but just wanted to check before I made any purchases! Any tips also appreciate
There is one on sale on Amazon right now.
anything with a red cartridge like that is pretty bad
the reason people get a record player is for better sound quality, for that you need to go for something that isnt made for people who are not really into getting a collection.
check out this (its £100 here) if you wanna get anything less than that, its not worth it, the sound will be shit

Eh, it's fine. You'd probably be better off just buying them individually... and getting the new version of that table, the AT-LP60X... and maybe save a hundo or so by getting these Edifier speakers.

Not sure of your price range, but I just upgraded mine to this one. The speakers that come with it sound great, and I love how it all looks. Can definitely recommend. And Discovery is the first album I played on it to test it out :)
It's a 1 by one turntable, it just doesn't have a ground wire by design.

inherited from my girlfriend
Copying this from a post I made, in case this gets seen sooner!
I am researching turntables to finally replace my shitty Crosley that I've been ruining records with since 2006. Same old common long story made short, I would love to get a nice setup, but don't have the money right now. I'm really hoping to get listening to my collection again without breaking the bank.
All of that being said, I have read through the guides on the side bar and have a good idea of what to look for and even more importantly what to avoid. So in the mean time, I found this 1byone turntable for super cheap on amazon. I know that brand is on the no-fly list, and for seemingly good reason. However, this one appears to be okay?
Obviously it's not super high quality, but adjustable counterweight, upgradable cartridge, and non-built-in speakers / RCA hookups for when I want to graduate from the included bluetooth speakers (which is a plus, because I'm also looking to use it as a general bluetooth speaker).
So, obviously I should get something better, but this doesn't seem like something too horrible, right? It's kinda the perfect price for me right now, and it offers the ability to upgrade a couple things when I can, before graduating to a real setup when I can spend better money.
What do y'all think?
What would be the better upgrade from an LP60:
U-Turn Orbit with Art DJPRE II and an Ortofon OM5E or a certified refurbished ATLP120?
Also note that I am looking for a set up to (slowly) upgrade over time. I assume the Orbit would be better for that reason, but is the ATLP120 better regardless?

Thanks for your reply.
After reading the manual for the L-3867, it seems that the cartridge can be swapped and is of the moving magnetic type. The counterweight can also be adjusted via a screw on the back end of the tonearm.
For 60 euros more I've managed to find a turntable produced by Soundlab (Soundlab GO56C), which seems to have a slightly better setup than the Lenco. The counterweight seems to be easier to adjust and it also comes with a pitch control switch, so I'll also look into that. I've emailed Lenco to check for any difference between the L-84 and the L-3687, although from what I can tell after reading their respective owner's manuals, the L-84 lacks any form of adjustability for the counterweight, so I'll probably stick with the L-3867 if I don't get the Soundlab instead.
I'll probably get the Soundlab due to the antiskate feature, easily adjustable counterweight, pitch control, etc. (https://www.amazon.co.uk/SoundLAB-Professional-Turntable-Audacity-Software/dp/B000UH0QPW)
Well... AT-LP60XBT is not a bad turntable but $150 is just way too much for it. If it was $99 I would say that is a no brainer. But for this much I would explore other options.
On the vinyl subreddit someone recently brought up "1byone Wireless Turntable Hi-Fi System with 36 Watt Bookshelf Speakers, Vinyl Record Player with Magnetic Cartridge": https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H8VG9BB/
I do not own this turntable but looking at the pictures and reading the reviews... I don't think it is bad. Tonearm seems decent and you will be able to upgrade the cartridge. Cast iron platter with sitting on a sub-platter - not a bad design either. Built-in phono and power amplifier. Even if the speakers don't turn out to be great you can buy some really good passive speakers for not that much money (Klipsch has deals all the time and there will be more coming I am sure).
I would give it a shot. It will get you on a much better upgrade path: start with this system as-is, upgrade the speakers, add an integrated amp, upgrade the cartridge...
Well it can depend. Are your speakers powered or passive, do you have a subwoofer, do you want an automatic (where a button moves the needle to the record and it puts itself back when its done, vs. having to pick up the arm and manually placing it on the record, plus pick it up and take it off the record when it's done every time). What other devices do you have, do you value bluetooth.
If you just want something that looks good in a photo here, you can find a vintage receiver for $100 (check craigslist/ebay, here's the first one I saw on eBay I'm not vouching for this model) and then an Audio Technica LP120 for $230. This is manual but you can, down the line, buy new cartridges. Also has features like adjustable counterweight, anti-skate and speed regulation.
You could alternatively go modern with a Sony STR-DH190 receiver. $150, bluetooth standby - basically you can play music to the receiver without making sure it's on. From there you could get the same $230 LP120, or the LP60XBT for $120 that also has bluetooth, so it can be used with wireless headphones, too. Or I guess just paired via bluetooth with the receiver so you don't have physically connect them. The LP60 is automatic but lacks the LP120's adjustments, which you may miss as you dive deeper into this hobby.
But pure turntable love - I'd cheap out on a receiver. Vintage looks or modern features aside, it's a black chunk. Phono preamp, amp and radio, at this price range, aren't really big considerations. So hit goodwill, salvation army or craigslist, and grab one for like $20. You might even find one with a center (subwoofer) out which the Sony or vintage I mentioned don't. Then you could get a Fluance RT82 or a Uturn Orbit for about $300. Those are both manual.
In contrast to receivers, used turntables haven't been a great experience for me. They're precision machines and speed/alignment issues can pop up, plus there's a lot of messed up dust covers out there. That said, I've only bought from thrift stores - with some eBay searching, plenty of people have found vintage turntables that were better values than new options.
EDIT: and this is by no means an exhaustive list, I'm just illustrating the different directions you can go
Ive got a few concerns after reading comments in here regarding the usage of LP60s crosleys etc. I got this one (pictured) off amazon for 50$ and it’s from the 1byone brand. 1byone, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GO1SP1E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ZxsHzbM658KX2
Any context/advice for using this turntable if I’m not actively going to be looking for a more expensive one anytime soon? Should I stop playing vinyls like these pictured if I want to keep them safe from damage?
Soundlab? Are they ok? http://www.amazon.co.uk/SoundLAB-Professional-Turntable-Audacity-Software/dp/B000UH0QPW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1450055702&sr=8-1&keywords=soundlab
Reviews seem favourable
> Max budget for the table (+ preamp if necessary) would be around 300.
Well, in that case, the U-Turn plus is only $9 over that: https://www.amazon.com/U-Turn-Audio-Orbit-Turntable-Black/dp/B00YQ6B396/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1521834529&sr=1-1&keywords=u-turn+orbit+basic&dpID=41jmsCXN3ZL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
Speakers Aperion Intimus Towers $468 Aperion, hand made in Portland Oregon -straightforward designs with high quality parts and good customer service for cheap (alternatively I agree with Freezerburn 100 percent about Magnepans - best high end value bar none imho. if you want to spend a little more on speakers)
DAC Shiit Bifrost $350 hands down my favorite DAC under 600 bucks
Amp and Preamp NAD 1130 and 902 stereo amp and preamp 260 plus shipping. NAD is rock solid, it is known.
Turntable Music Hall MMF 2.2 $450 Really like Project and MMF turntables mid-entry level turntables
Total Cost $1528 plus some shipping.
Could skip the turntable and save 450.
What Arve has said makes sense (except that any audiophile should buy an airport express) about the speakers, unless you are intending to expand or in any way improve or add to your setup over time. Getting a decent DAC/Pre/Amp rig should set you up for years to come, you can always try a new set of speakers, but always remember past a given point the more you spend the less of a return you will see.
If you know someone who feels confident buying used you'd be surprised what turns up for next to nothing on CL if you are willing to dig around for a bit. Oh, and anything canadian is usually good price/performance (paradigm, psb, etc.) Something that some audiophiles like to do is to use a tube powered pre amp to get tube color and drive without spending 2 grand on a 30/50/60/90/120 watt tube amp - while using cheaper transparent solid state amplifiers to actually drive the speakers.
Protip - audiogon is an awesome place to find yesterdays best for cheap.
So I bought an old turntable (Numark TT 1650) but the sound quality on new vinyls isn't great, it seems to get more sensitive about exterior noises like closing doors etc.
What can I do to fix this issue? I don't think it's an issue with the stand since it's in a built for cupboard and it only happens on new vinyl?
If that's just the build and I can't do anything, would this be a good replacement player: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Audio-Technica-AT-LP60USB-AT-LP60-USB-Turntable/dp/B00EUSMFPQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1453246086&sr=1-1&keywords=AUDIO+TECHNICA+turntable
Like I said it works fine just not on my new pressings and if I get a new player it'd need to not have this issue also
You can do it yourself for $35 which will be less than a service: http://www.amazon.com/SOUND-VS-2002-SPK-Turntable-Built--Speakers/dp/B005A9ZYI4/ref=sr_1_7?s=aht&ie=UTF8&qid=1451677279&sr=1-7&keywords=usb+turntable
Philharmonic affordable accuracy monitors $200, probably the best speakers for 300 or less. good bass too, you will probably be pretty happy without a sub for a while.
SMSL SMSL Q5 blackQ5 2x50W Amplifier DAC $135, this has a usb dac for your computer and RCA line level inputs for a phono preamp. 50 wpc wont be deafening but will power those bookshelfs well enough.
U turn orbit TT $300 this is really the cheapest TT i would recommend getting. it has a good needle and allows you to make the proper adjustments so you don't destroy your records. i would not bother with the Audio technica. if this is too much, spend that money on a better amp and dac separates.
Art DJPRE II $50 does what is is supposed to do.
Except this one.. http://www.amazon.com/Crosley-C10A-NA-Turntable-Pro-Ject-Natural/dp/B015ACX5T0/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8
No I don't. I saw this on amazon but I don't the quality is good. But that's the idea that I'm looking for. Something like this even would work, just not sure if the quality will be there.
I just bought this turntable, the appeal of Bluetooth sounded good. Please recommend some speakers for it. Is there anything that I could also use for my TV/home theater setup?

Looking for some general purchasing advice on turntables. My current budget is $100-$500 and I currently have a Denon AVRx1400H with 3.1. RP-260's & RP-440C. I usually listening to classic rock, indie rock, rap, and EDM. I know next to nothing about turntables, but have been lurking on this sub for some time.
I have some interest in this Audio-Technica one Link but have no idea whether this is worth the cost.
Any advice on setting up a decent beginner turntable would be much appreciated, i.e. what you need, what to look for, what to avoid, which brands are better than others etc.
Thanks in advance!
Here are some cheap speakers and cheap player. That's as starter as it gets.
Eh, I live in a fairly small-population area in NE Indiana. I feel like nobody will have anything notable for purchase. Recently I've been looking at AudioTechnica's LP120USB. Thoughts? (Here it is to save you time if you plan on looking it up)
Hmm.. I've tried looking and can't seem to find where the turntables are made. Here's the table itself: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H8VG9BB
I plan on upgrading within the next couple years anyways, but as a beginner with a tight budget this is going to have to work for now.
Oh, yay!
What I want most because I've always dreamed of having a turntable/record player and my local Goodwill has the best deals on vinyls!
What I want least because The Avengers is now on Netflix but I wouldn't mind having a copy for when it's no longer on there and I want to bask in the gloriousness of these attractive superheroes.
Hmm I might order this tie-dye kit though for some mid-summer fun with my younger sister!
And lastly, I think the world could do without this pair of latex gloves because washing dishes sucks!
Sorry about that, I'm typically a lurker, this is my first post. http://www.amazon.com/ION-Profile-LP-Vinyl-to-MP3-Turntable/dp/B0029QRA1U/ref=lp_3003611_1_23?ie=UTF8&qid=1368838815&sr=1-23
This is the turntable I was talking about.
Also went through multiple units as I couldn't be OK with the ocean like waves with the platters, one of which the needle would completely jump off the record. For an Amazon purchase in the similar price realm I would go for the music Hall mmf 2.2 https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001FUF8FQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485866330&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=music+hall+turntable&dpPl=1&dpID=417FuioIVOL&ref=plSrch, has a project tonearm and similar to an essentials table with the power switch in a better location
Bought my gf this one. Works great and not too expensive. My only suggestion would be hooking up your own stereo speakers which it has the connections for.

edit: I just noticed the price now, I paid $80 back in October and got it through Prime.
Quick follow up, I found your same model but with a Bluetooth wireless feature. Was that an option when you purchased yours? I'm looking to see if there's a pro/con to having wired/wireless with this model.

I found a $40 USB turntable called the Vibe Sound VS-2002-SPK USB that seems like it would be good for sampling. Has anyone else used it or know someone who has? Here is a amazon link to it.

It can convert tracks to digital and it is belt driven, but I can't find anyone else who has used it specifically for sampling to know if it can be used for sampling.
The RP1 is a fantastic table. I was going to recommend it, but at $445, it will eat up nearly his entire budget.
I must say though, it is certainly one clean looking table. I have no doubt you enjoy it. Congrats.
Seems decent for my first record player... Am I missing something???

For someone like me who probably wont be looking into buying more and more vinyls, nothing against it but i just wanted something a bit cheap to just get a taste of what it really is
Hi folks. I'm sorry for asking a pretty simple question but after looking at some of these helpful guides, I am still in over my head. I have a beginner set up 1byone turntable (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GO1SP1E/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza) and I wanted to have some better sound when playing the blues. So I picked up the Polk T15 speakers (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002RJLHB8/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza) that were on sale and well regarded from reddit users.
I am having a lot of trouble figuring out how to get this all set up. I think I need to pick up a phono turntable pre amp? Would really appreciate any direction or advice. Again sorry for the basic Q.
here's a couple bits of advice for you:
enjoy your vinyl experience, vro.
Hey can i ask you a long question about this then.
I got this turntable as a gift for someone. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00XVJF2JG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It seems to already have an AMP built in and connects to speakers via RCA LEFT & RIGHT.
My speakers are vintage and connect with the copper + - so it needs two copper openings PER SPEAKER.
I was gonna buy an RCA wire and strip one side to show the copper like this wire here : https://www.primecables.ca/p-312831-cab-659-all-2-rca-plug2-rca-plug-mm-cable-black-3-lengths-available-primecables#sku312831
But I see in the wire picture each RCA color only has 1 wire attached to it so only one copper but I need EACH rca COLOR to have two copper wires attached because my speaker has the + and - needed.
Thanks
I haven't picked this up yet as I ordered the Image Turntable Stylus Force Scale Gauge a month ago but the reviews state that others have used this for turntables with good results.
I'm wondering if the LP60 is a good buy. I'm getting my brother a turntable setup for his birthday but don't have much to spend. I was deciding between this and this turntable here. Thanks for your help!
