I am about to get my first turntable. I have no spesific budget yet, will plan some shop visit for the next week. Any advice what to avoid, concentrate on, etc? Does it worth to go for second hand units?
it will be connected to Rotel RA-1570 powering B&W CM9
Thanks,
Tomas
Do you actually own any records?
Will this be your only source or do you own a CD player? Oops, ignore that, just seen your signature...... ;-)
The reason I ask is, on the cheap, you are not going to get anywhere near CD quality sound. If you don't know what you are looking for then avoid second hand.
There are plenty of threads on here that ask the same question about first turntable.
My advice is not to be caught up in the vinyl upsurge just because it's a fad, and especially if you don't already own any LP's, unless you have a good amount of cash you can pump into a set up.
My advice, if you wish to proceed, is to visit a reputable dealer.
