    Thirded U-Turn. Love my custom Orbit.

    They fixed your brain when you were young.

    I have had very good experiences with the Audio Technica LP60. I now have a Denon dp-300f that I love. And though they are expensive, I can not recommend the Audioengine A5 speakers enough. Those puppies are expensive, but built very very well. My set survived a house fire and still sound just fine. Just a little dinged up!

    We need your budget to help. No point recommending an audio technic if you have a $500+ budget.

    Let us know your budget and current set up and we can help!

    Also might be worth scouring your local Craigslist if it's active. I found a used but good condition vintage Technics a couple of months ago that way.

    Where else would I do my drunk shopping for weird guitars?

    I’m good on budget! I’ve been saving for a bit and summer is coming up (make more money during summer in my job) so I’m good on funds. I honestly couldn’t tell you the names of anything I have in my current set up because everything I got is from my stepdad (which was about 6 years ago). I plan on starting fresh with everything.

    I’ve had an audio technica lp120 for 6-7 years and have had no issues with it, sounds great. That said, the u-turn looks 3x better and just seems to be the better table. If the funds are there, sounds like a great bet.

    Speaking of budget, many people jumping into the hobby start off with “what’s the best turntable for under/around $100?!” and the answer is none. Save your money and get a decent player, it will pay off so much more in the long run.

    Do some research on ones you like and then scour Facebook marketplace/craigslist/whatever if you want to get a deal on one.

    Record Store Day usually has some sales you can cash in on, so look out for those as well. Your local record shops may have some record players as well that they’ll let you test and play in store.

    I also have an LP120, but I like its aesthetics far more than the U-Turn and other platter style tables.

    I have a few alerts set up for out of stock items. One time I was able to get what I wanted. And another time I ordered and it went back to back ordered. I’m holding out but not sure it’ll come. They’ve been very communicative and helpful.

    I feel like their service is picking up. I’ve received records from them recently but never before 2021 I feel like. I really like their mailers.

    Finally decided to get into vinyl. PIcked up some records last week from Newbury Comics, ordered a turntable (Audio Technica AT-LP60XBT) online, and it came today. I'm so excited to start listening and building my collection!

    Thanks! I have a few more ordered and I'll likely look into adding Turn Out the Lights and Stranger in the Alps very soon.
