I've been looking to piece together a vinyl setup recently. I am a 100% newbie to this and I have a very small budget. For the past few months I've been looking to buy a TT at local thrift stores and pawn shops, but I haven't found anything recently. I've also been periodically looking on eBay at vintage TTs.
I've read most of the applicable threads on vinyl already and I think I want to get an old Technics deck.
I've got an SL-1350 on my eBay watch list, but I haven't bid on it yet.
Specific questions that I have:
What is a cheap way to get a phono stage?
What kind of cartridges fit the Technics deck and where would I buy a new one?
When I finally do get a usable setup, how do I tell if a record is good or not?
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks a bunch in advance
