thinking of trying vinyl


hello all, Ive been thinking about getting into records and turntables for awhile now, and after finding a really cool record store with all these old jazz albums cheap, im thinking about making the jump. But I do have some holdups. I have a very economy minded system that consists of b&w 602 s2 bookshelf speakers-a 90's rotel 30 watt integrated with phono,and a sony sacd player. Thats it, so i dont think my system would do a brand new pro-ject table much justice. But I also dont want to buy an old piece of junk. Any suggestions on a turntable that would "fit" with what i have? Also is the sound going to make me cringe since im using low ball equipment? Just trying to figure out if its worth the journey.

I recently switched to vinyl a few months ago - after a 25 year absence. I got back into the game with a midlevel Rega P3-24. If you can afford one it's a great little table that can give you a very nice taste of what vinyl can sound like. Be warned though that soon after I added the Rega I fell in love with the warmer and less fatiguing vinyl sound and began a major system upgrade that has ultimately cost me about $20K. And then there's all the time I spend on-line and around town hunting down LP's. The stuff is addicting. It reminds me of the first time I went from Solid State Amps to SET's. It's like getting a new pair of ears. Good luck
