entry level TT


Hey, I am running a Dynaco st-70 (recapped stock circuit) with a PAS3 (also recapped stock circuit). I am looking into getting into some vinyl, but I don't have much of a budget. I was wondering if someone could recommend some good entry level TT, along the pricerange and quality of the dynaco stock setup, ~$200ish.

For $200, you could realistically go with the well-made Technics knock-off, the Audio-Technica AT-PL120. It was even well-reviewed in issue 11 of Tone Audio Online, p. 9, by the editor, whose main TT is a Rega P9.

Another great entry level TT that I know to work well with vintage Dynaco tube electronics is the Goldring GR1.2. I have a friend with an all-Dynaco rig and he replaced the pawnshop Dual with the Goldring and he was ecstatic over the improvement it made. I found him a demo closeout for something like $217, but they list around $449. The best price I saw this time around was LP Gear, but I think they're out of stock.
