I'm planning to buy a turntable for home listening purposes as well as for occasional live playing.
But as I'm a complete noob into stuff like that, is there any particular model that I should check out? Not very expensive, yet solid quality.

I would assume that it's the speakers that makes the turntable. Unless you need, for some reason, a new turntable I'd buy a used one (and probably a new needle) and a good set of speakers (with a preamp).
Mine was $10 at a flea market (junk store) and it sounds pretty good. |

Good needles/ good speakers are more important than the deck itself, although the very cheapest turntables will always be shit.

Thanks mates...I've got pretty solid quality speakers and preamp so I'll guess I'll do nothing wrong by picking up some medium-prized deck.

no spinning, no schratching, none of this DJ bullshit. just Philip Jeck-like experimental textured stuff
btw, I live just across the hill to Nevada - I live in Central Europe.

across the hill by way of transylvania? hm well if you buy used (occasionally a good thing) you might find a good european make... like thorens i think... http://www.hiaudio.co.uk/links.htm ?? what i like about those lpgear products i posted in the previous post is they are carefully chosen @ every price point & their improved versions do make a difference. maybe see if they sell similar around where you live. internet commerce is a bitch... |
