I bumped it to the first page of the music board.

Do NOT get a Crosley.

Look at Pro-Ject or U-Turn.

You will also need a receiver with a phono stage or a phono pre amp to run into a line input.

She's making you go in circles, don't let her needle you into this purchase, skip it, start from scratch and get in the groove by getting a reel to reel player like on MadMen.

tl/dr: A 21 year-old girlfriend needs something other than a record player.

She actually said she doesn't want anything but we all know what that means. She mentioned early in our relationship she's wanted one for a while so I figured that'd be a good present. Nothing too expensive

I picked up a Crosley Nomad a few months back. Run about $175.

You don't need to break the bank for casual use. I'm sure she ain't no audiophile.

Get a Crosley. I have one and it sounds great.


Yeah, don't do that. Crosley's are pieces of shite that destroy your records.

U-turn, project debut III, or the lp-120 are where you should look to start.

Cool. Yeah I've been looking at crosley and have seen good and awful reviews. I guess I'll keep researching. Id like to buy one by Friday so I can listen to it before and make sure it's okay.

Agree, and look at Audio-Technica - you can get a direct drive close to the OP's budget.
