I would recommend ANYTHING other than a player that is advertised as an "all-in-one". For example, all Crosley brand players are absolute crap and will destroy your records.So, I have some cool old vinyl I got from a family member but no way to play it. Any recommendations for a decent record player that isn’t super expensive?
That said, I think a great first turntable is an Audio Technica AT-LP60. Amazon has them for $99 and they work great. If you pair that turntable with a set of powered bookshelf speakers (like Edifier's R1280T), you'll be rocking out for an all in cost of around $200! I bought my mom this exact setup for one of her Christmas gifts this year and was blown away by how good the setup sounded.
But again, and I can't stress this enough, never buy an all-in-one player.
