I am interested in picking up a turntable, as the topic states, for the listening of both modern and classic rock (if I can find those albums at a cheap price).
However, being that I am new to the format, and have never had access to listen to any LPs (the turntable my parents had was defunct by the time I could walk and sat idle in the entertainment center), is there a place I can sample how an LP sounds? Any places with a digital file of an imported track from a turntable?
the first two albums I would pick up on LP of modern music would be Coheed and Cambria's No World For Tomorrow, and The Mars Volta's De-Loused in the Comatorium, or maybe Amputechture.
both of these bands I imagine could sound amazing on vinyl, and am interested if it is something I should pursue.
I'd be hooking up the turntable to my H/K AVR247, and would stick to 2.1 on the front towers and sub.
As far as the turntable itself, I'd want one with a good motor (direct drive would be nice but expensive, right?), but definitely needs a replaceable cartridge as I'd probably purchase one to replace the stock cartridge before I even had the turntable in my hands.
How much is it looking like I'd have to pay? Any places that offer considerable deals?
Certain brands I should stick to, and others to avoid?
Anyone selling their old turntable?
