I dug up my parent's old turntable and bookshelf (I think) speakers to see if it still worked. amazingly, the old Beocenter 2200 still has some life in it, though it's on it's last legs (sound was fine for a while but then cut out as if an amp had gone or something, radio and tape player don't work, off button is broken... it's ancient, basically), and for the few seconds it did work it was pretty magical. so now, I want a turntable of my own and to start collecting vinyl like a fiend.
this is where you guys come in. any recommendations for a turntable and appropriate speakers? I'm looking for a fairly compact, cheap-ish setup. don't want to do any DJ'ing or anything with it obviously. don't want a tape player or radio like the old one had, or the USB linkup some models have. I'm willing to spend a bit of cash on speakers to get some sound quality, but I would like to know my options in terms of price vs. awesomeness.
thanks, fellow music geeks!
