A used, but in good condition Denon 47F, with Denon 160 cartridge should do the trick. Of course, a pre-amp to match the 160, would also be needed and a used ProJect would be a good choice. Everything could cost $600. The best feature would be a fully automatic system that the 47F has, including the repeat feature. It does not get any easier then that. Being fully automatic, tons of money are saved in stylus replacements.
Front End Advice Sought
I have been tasked with helping a friend put together an analog front end for her mom. This nice lady has a number of old albums she'd like to listen to, but not a whole lotta cash in order to make that happen.
She has an adequate receiver, but she needs a phono pre, turntable and cartridge. She can't afford to spend more than $1000.
What do you all think? Any ideas out there?
