Record wear

I'm tempted to get into analog, but have next to no experience. I'm considering starting with an inexpensive table, cartridge, etc. to test the waters. If things work out, I'll upgrade.

Some of the records can run fairly pricey, like the Analogue Productions 45s. In my inexperience, I'm concerned that a lower-end system may introduce a lot of record wear before I jump into a better system. Should this be a concern?

If this shouldn't be a concern, any recommendations for reasonably-priced components? Thanks!

A lower-end or a top one system contribute in almost the same way to very slowly makes a degradation/wear to the LPs.
If you mantain your Lps clean, the stylus in good/pristine condition and the VTF is between manufacturer advise you don't have to worried about.

Regards and enjoy the music.
