Earlier I asked about Dual TTs, and got some great info (thanks), but it made me realize that I probably should be asking a more general question, since my knowledge of turn tables in general is pretty limited.What are some recommendations for turn table models that provide a lot of bang for the buck, relatively easy to find (mostly looking on ebay), relatively cheap (no more than 200, in good working condition, including a decent stylus), and would be good for someone who has minimal turn table experience. Is there even such a thing in existence? I'm about to receive a good vinyl collection as a gift, and I can't wait to listen to it because I definitely enjoy the sound of vinyl over anything else, but I'm trying not to break the bank. Thanks again for the feedback.
P.S.--my system includes the following: Sansui 5000, pair of Polk R50s, pair of Realistic Minimus 7s, Sony 5 disc changer (free hand-me-down)
