So im looking into getting a turn table setup: turn table, cartridge, amp, and speakers. Suggestions? I would like to keep it reletivley budget and none of that vinyl to usb stuff, not needed. And this is strictly for home listening purposes.

get a reciever from the 70s, theyre the best bang for buck, and speakers too.

i have a technics sl1600 table, its super dope but it cost me about 250, i dunno if thats in budget for you or not.

Im in the same situation and im gonna buy a set of used technics SL-12's MKII

Everybody says they can last for 10+ years easy, and the only other thing that seems to compare are the high end vestax  tables

check ebay and craigslist you can score a pair in good condition for 400-500$
