Turntable getting back to vinyl

audio gods bear with me....why would i want a dj turntable? it is an aesthetic and philosophical turn off to me. I'm a pro musician (with serious high range hearing loss - but that is another story)

And isnt the cartridge more of a deciding factor for sound? 

I realize i am way out of my depth on this forum but i appreciate any advice.

thanks no romance....i would have to look at he project carbon then.

Yes I have a lot of records. I worked at ao ne stop and record stores for many years and i think im the only who saved their records! Ireally do wantt ohear them again but idont have $100 for a turntable setup.

But idont care about speed adjustment or dj things....

Thank you for all the advice!
