So I finally came to the realization that I just cannot go any longer without a turntable since most of my favourite music is pressed on twelves or intended to be played on 'em.
My budget is a little over $600, though I'd like to have some left over to pull some new records off of Discogs and whatnot. Of course, I do want to buy things that will last me for years to come. Fortunately I am of the school that cares for audio quality, but realizes one does not have to spend thousands to get it.
Anyway, I just want a simple setup that sounds as best as possible (most importantly: neutral) and will let me rip tunes to my MacBook Pro for on-the-go listening. I'm assuming I need nothing more than a turntable, cartridge, phono preamp, and audio interface? I would like speakers, but I totally understand that at the moment I am probably stuck with my headphones which is totally okay.
Used is most certainly okay, as well.
So, anyone up for the task of helping me out?
(p.s. anyone know a good site for ordering inexpensive inner sleeves?)
