Freki Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Well, do some basic internet research and narrow it down to a couple of options to run by us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tardcore Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 If you aren't knowledgeable and comfortable doing some troubleshooting/repairs, you're pretty likely to wind up with a stack of broken trash at $20 a pop. You have a solid budget. Just get a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon or similar and be done with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessejames690 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Project Debut Carbon will see you in good stead. Within your budget as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxmartinxx Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 If I were looking for a budget table and I lived in the US, I'd buy a U-Turn. vinyl addict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Within your budget you can get the acrylic platter, cue lever and 2M Red Cart. Made in the USA and top notch customer service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyl addict Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 If buying new, go with a custom U turn Orbit. If looking to buy used, there's a whole new world of options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommongod Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 I'm gunna look it up right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommongod Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 Ok so I'm either looking at the u-turn or the new Crosley C-10. What do you think will last longer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyl addict Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) Crosley is a no-no U-turn has unbelievable customer service and is made here in Massachusetts. That's a no-brainer You could grab a Denon DP-300F if you want an automatic table. They are built very well and will last a very long time. I still have mine in a closet somewhere. It lasted me a few years without a single issue, and they are about $330. You can also shop used. You can score a hell of a deal if you look enough.

Hmm a U Turn or a Crosley? let me think now That's got to be the most one sided question since do you want to eat chocolate or shit? Any Crosley is only good for target practice or use as a door stop, never ever under any circumstance put a record anywhere near one YouTwo, Tardcore and Tommongod 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
