calypso calypso Planeteer Registered: 07/22/05 Posts: 2681 Loc: mid-Missouri	Back in the day I had a Bang & Olufsen turntable going into the “phono” input on a Harman Kardon receiver/amp. It sounded okay, but I was happy to leave that behind when CD’s came along. But I married into a BIG collection of vinyl. The turntable and receiver have gone, but the LPs have followed us over the years. Now I’d like to explore those works and see what’s worth digitizing and saving. I don’t have any audiophile aspirations. Just need a reasonably priced modern turntable with the phono preamp built in. Any suggestions? _________________________ It's all just ones and zeroes.

I haven't researched much yet, but I eventually will and my first source will no doubt be a google search, followed by a few written reviews, followed by youtube video reviews.... That's proven to be a fairly reliable pre-sale research strategy for me lately - especially given how quickly the list of potentials changes from one year to the next. I hope this helps - I expect it to for myself, so it better be! $\:\)$ _________________________ uptildawn

Good luck. _________________________ It's all just ones and zeroes. Mark W in mid-MO some music here: soundcloud bandcamp spotify

Before buying a receiver, I hooked up bookshelf speakers to it and it was fairly loud, depending on the record. So it should work fine for transferring to digital. It runs about $350. The tone arm has all of the necessary adjustments to ensure proper playback of your LPs, and it's simple to set up (once you watch an online video). There's also a USB option.
