Do you have any suggestions?

I currently have a NAD amp, and bookshelf, Triangle Titus speakers. I use a simple sony CD player, and have a nakamichi tape deck. Im interested in purhcasing a record player as its the only media I am missing. I have never owned one before, and have no record, but have heard and appreciated their warmth. I was wondering if it is possible to find something of decent quality that will last, and will be worth while for $300 or so. Any suggestions? Your thought and time is greatly appreciated.

Knot,

Is your NAD an integrated amp? If it is an integrated, does it have a built-in phono stage? If not, you are going to need to divide your $300 investment between a turntable (with arm and cartridge) and a phono stage.

If you just need a turntable, i.e. you already have a phono stage in your integrated amp, you can probably pull it off for $300 or so. However, if you also need to buy a phono stage with your $300 budget, it's going to be difficult.

Enjoy,

TIC
