My wife and I are ready to upgrade turntables. I really don't want to break the bank so I am budgeting somewhere around 300$. I would like a direct drive turntable and there is no need for a USB. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.... :D

    just did a quick cruise threw amazon .

    1. Audio-Technica AT-PL120 Professional Direct-Drive -- didn't look bad in your price range

    2. TECHNICS SL-1200MK2 -- i think this is the turntable everyone talks about being Very Nice

    3. Rega - RP1 Turntable - belt drive . Nice big tone arm

    just stay away from Crosley and You will be doing good .

    Make sure what your looking for is Pre amped or not . and the stylus can be changed to upgrade

    Thanks a lot. We'll check em out. Does Pre amped mean that there is an internal amp, so it would not have to be hooked up to a receiver?

    Its for when you have to plug in threw the AUX.

    If you do get a deck that is not Pre Amped and you plug threw the Aux they still play but the sound is Low !

    some people use older receiver or just a receiver with the record player option .

    After you get your record player then there is amps you can buy that are just as much as the decks . Not to mention how much those stylus can be . Your just getting started . But you have to start some were .

    check out this site they would have the most straight up info . Check your PM on were to buy . Think about that!! and investigate it . . cheers ;)

    You would still go threw the receiver . but you would go threw the AUX. .. Instead of using the receivers power to make sound .

    I just got the Audio Technica AT-LP60 for 80 bucks. It's fantastic and a great deal. It's pre-amped so I just plugged them into my bose speakers I already had laying around and my record collection has come to life again!

    What does the AT-LP120 have that the 60 doesn't?
