A turntable?


I haven't owned or used a turntable in a long time. Having purchased some new gear I would also like to invest in a turntable as well. I have planty of albums from my youth that are taunting me from my basement. What do I need to know? What should I look for? I know there are different drive types, arm shapes and other options that can tempt one to spend a LOT of money. I am considering a Rega table as they appear to be affordably priced for me but do not know anything about stage amps or MM/MC etc. My reciever is nothing fancy, Pioneer Elite VSX-94txh, whatever I end up with needs to work with that. Thanks for being willing to share your knowledge.

Thanks for all the help! Regarding TT packages do you mean a phono stage, cartridge, turntable that are matched (what is matched about them)? Do I need a phono stage if my reciever has a phono in?
Thanks for all the help. What are the pros/cons of MM or MC? I actually have my eye on some older TT's Denon DP-59/60 series. I recognize that certainly 30 years worth of technology is a plus to getting a Music Hall, Rega or project but does it really matter?
