If you're not going to be DJ'ing and just listening, used turntables can be a great value. Any 70s or 80s vintage direct drive turntable should work just fine. I got a Technics SL-Q200 from my brother-in-law -- along with all of his 70s and 80s R&B records -- put a new stylus on the old Stanton cartridge and it sounds fantastic. If you can't find a good used turtable, Stanton makes a Direct Drive table STR830B you can get for $149.99 WITH a cartridge. It aint a 1200, but they work fine. You could probably even beat match on 'em. Audiophile stuff probably sounds great, but ... they're fiddly. They're really for people who want to fuss with gear.
