Have not decided how much I am going to spend, but definitely as low as possible for a start.

I am looking at the Lenco L85 + Focal XS Book speakers bundle deal. Not sure if it is a good deal.

petetherock has given you the link for your reference reading. You can ask the same question in the forum(xtremeplace) too. Believe more people will be able to answer your question. Do give a budget on how much you are willing to spend.

Any good or bad? Comes with pre-amp for plug and play with speakers?

Uh...get who into trouble?

TS should check out the prices of new vinyl nowadays before embarking. It can be quite costly. I understand it's hip but there are others ways to get enjoyable sound for less.

 

[alamakazim]

The media is much more expensive than the turntable on the long run

treat it as lifestyle thingy... like drink red wine... spin it and enjoy
