I'm going to buy a record player and I need some suggestions on a good one to get. I would be willing to spend up to $500 dollars on a neddle and player. Also tips on not damaging the needle or the records once I start playing them. Thanks,
Brian

I need help with a record player, and QUICK!
not too many companies are making them anymore so the ones that you can choose from are going to be high quality and pretty similar in features. I have always preferred belt drive over direct drive but I am sure there have been mechanical changes since I bought my turntable. Just go to a decent reputable stereo place where you live they can steer you in the right direction--good luck!
I was under the impression that direct drive was better than belt driven. Why do you prefer belt MMJ Fanatic?
consistent performance over time, but like I said who knows what amount of tweaking has occurred in turntable design since I last bought one ;)
two words: Pawn Shop. Any pawn shop worth their salt has a wide variety of audio equipment for sale at the fraction of their real costs.
the term "pawn shop guitar" comes to mind...I've got a tape deck and a great equalizer at pawn shops...check em out!
Good brands of turntables:
Technique
Pioneer
Magnavox
etc. you know, the good ol brands of days of yore when they actually MADE turntables. check ebay too, they've always got everything from cow hearts to human excrement.
Exactly...if you can't find it at EBAY stop looking.
