Help with Turntable purchase
Posted on 9/22/20 at 9:07 am
Posted on 9/22/20 at 9:07 am
I am looking to purchase a turntable. I have not had one in many years. The wife and I have a old collection of vinyl and would like to play them again.
I am going to connect this through my Denon surround sound amp. I looked around Amazon and found this but I know zero about the quality any more. Id like to spend less than $300 or so if possible.
Anyone know anything about this company or can you recommend something? Thanks

For your price point I think that is your best option. It is what I have and I like it. The only think I'd recommend is upgrading the cartridge pretty quickly down the road.

I notice the turntables now are either wired or bluetooth. Does the bluetooth change the sound any?

AT makes decent quality turntables. I don't know anything about that particular one, and I'm far from an expert to begin with, but I think you'd be fine with that one.
My only suggestion is to not run it through a surround sound system. Music is recorded and produced for 2 channels. I'd imagine there's a way to configure the surround sound for just L and R output though.

That one is perfect for your budget IMO

You can do that with mine Spleen. I agree as well. We use that amp for a lot of things and we use basic stereo fir any music we play through it. No surround sound.
Thanks for the advice.

Always. Turning any analog to digital will result in a loss due to the pixelation of waves.
I don't understand the purpose of wireless turntables. It seems to me to defeat the entire purpose of them. Why go with an analog sounding medium only to turn it into digital?

I have that one and its a solid TT.

I have a blutooth turntable and a nice bose speaker. the sound is really good but not great. My buddy has a JBL traditional speaker set up on his turntable and the sound is fuller. But i can take my speaker outside on my porch and listen and thats a big thing to me.

If you’re going to purchase a turntable, I highly recommend you check out turntablelab.com. I bought a pretty solid turntable package there last year. Also, I’d wait closer to the holiday season. I saved 100 bucks on a Black Friday deal. LINK
I also spent a lot of time educating myself because I didn’t know shite about turntables. Belt drive is preferred, the ability to upgrade the needle is important and you need to understand whether or not you want a model with or without a built in preamp.
