Classic B65A

I am almost a 100 vinyls deep It was time to replace the novelty toy with a real turntable awhile ago :) That mustang thing has a cheap ceramic cartridge, a cheap motor, a tiny cheap speaker :( Starter setup with a good MM moving magnet cartridge, a good diamond tip stylus, plus an RIAA phono preamp

Neither of those cheap brands are worth spending any money on. Better Fluance RT81 $255 on sale from $299 with built in phono preamp. Plus Starter powered speakers: For a large room or a medium size room if you have room for them, large 6.5" mid bass driver Dayton Classic B65A $159. For a medium siz

Pass on the AT-LP60 that had some issues when it was new and can have even more issues used.

You can get an Audio-Technica 60 ($199 on Amazon) and some basic powered speakers, for instance the Dayton Classic B65a ($159 on Amazon), you can get a perfectly serviceable setup for $360 that won't eat your records. That's truly the basement bottom budget starting point for decent quality and reas

You're welcome. You can probably start with the basic low cost computer speakers. Then to get good sound from the turntable, get at least a pair of decent compact to full size starter powered speakers when you can...

The basic AT-LP60X is the bare minimum and lacks adjustments. Ideally get at least a starter turntable with an adjustable tonearm: Manual with cue lever and auto stop Fluance RT80 $249. Automatic Denon DP-300F $249. Or if you can, get the better AT-LP120X $315 that was originally $449 that has a bet
