Am brand spanking new to overclockers. I'm wanting to enter the turntable world as I have never owned one. I only have a small budget of around £400.
I am hoping to add or upgrade as ai go along.
I've been using Market place and gumtree to gauge prices and look at diff brands.
I was thinking of £200 for turntable. £200 for speakers.
I already have a denon amp. Which am hopeful can be used.
The set up is going into my front room. It's only used really at weekend ls by myself and wife. Quite a large room as we live in old Victorian property.
Any makes models you can send me off to research that you maybe reccomend as good starting point.
I totally understand my budget is pants but everyone gotta start somewhere and I am realistic in terms of quality etc.
 
Turntables aren't my thing, but you have direct direct and belt drive turntables.
Fully auto, semi auto or fully manual types

You'll need a phono stage somewhere in the chain. Some turntables have them built in (you might be able to enable/disable this feature) - or they have dual outputs.
Or you have a dedicated phono stage box
Or one inside your amplifier, it'll say "phono" or something.

At your budget you're looking at moving magnet type, moving coil is the more expensive type.

Usual makes like Project, Rega, Audio Technicka, Technics
