Basic Turntable Recommendations

Looking at a cheap, RCA out into amp solution for my better half who enjoys vinyl but, if I'm honest, doesn't necessarily appreciate the finer things in hifi.

She currently listens to music via a Google Home in the kitchen or a single Bose1 bluetooth speaker in the bedroom as a point of reference. Also, before it died she was using a 90s Sony midi system with integral TT.

I've got an old NAD AV amp that cost a fair bit back in the early 2000s and some Tannoy mini speakers from an old 5.1 set up.

I was going to donate those to the project and add this

Which seems to be a decent option from a company i like to support.

Before i press the button, are there any other options?

Cheers.

Thanks both, I cant think I'd ever want to use USB, so I'll get the Marantz and £20 of record vouchers, proper old school.

That's a good idea actually, a lot of the vinyl is from our parents' collections or my own collection from buying stuff that was limited edition or coloured vinyl in the 80's / 90's.

My personal favourite is a Black Crowes - Hard to Handle picture disc, i love the vinyl itself and the song is one of those that makes our list of great covers every time.
