re: Turntable help

Yeah, I'm going to echo this:

AT LP60 with speakers

Good call Folker - this is about your floor for anything remotely decent, self-contained vinyl playback rig.

However, I encourage you to consider that the turntable is only about 1/3 of the experience. Quality amplification and speakers - which will cost you, roughly $1000 as floor, just for them, are required to get the full benefits from vinyl in the first place.

The speakers with the above set up will quickly be relegated to Craig's List or Goodwill after you upgrade your backbone.
