Brick025 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I am looking for advice. I am planning to buy a record player for around $100 and right now I'm looking at these two: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NW7PHXT/?coliid=I1MNYMXUYXM4XJ&colid=18SBEKKNH52OT&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N3S8D31/?coliid=I9QM0MSLPDZDG&colid=18SBEKKNH52OT&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it_im I plan to listen to rap and rock and eventually plan to buy speakers if I get the audio technica player. Which would you guys recommend. In case it is relevant I will also preface that this is my first record player. Also, feel free to recommend completely different record players altogether.

rooks Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 There's nothing wrong with an AT-LP60 for a first table, it will suck having to wait and save up a bit more and get some decent speakers - but you'll be way happier for much longer going that route over the instant-play Crosley.

Oblivions Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Target’s Heyday player is like a Crosley with an adjustable tonearm and it’s received decent reviews (for what it is) . And it’s $99.99. https://www.target.com/p/heyday-8482-turntable-gray/-/A-53734379 If my budget was a strict $100, I would go for the table with the adjustable tonearm over the brand value of Audio Technica with the fixed plastic arm.
