Vinyl collection, now what?

Hey folks,

Just inherited a really interesting collection of records from my audiophile crazy uncle.
Lots of master and super master pressings, a complete Time Life Records collection, Sheffield track records, etc.

I have never owned a turntable and know very little about them.

Does anyone have experience digitizing tracks to file using a USB turntable?
Any recommendations for or against?
Am I looking at something potentially very expensive?
I haven't looked through everything but saw lots of albums I would like to digitize.

Thanks everyone!

Keep collection of your uncle, buy yourself a nice Direct Drive turntable like this (with a cartridge and phono stage), listen and enjoy!

I bet all those tracks available for free in apple music or elsewhere.

Owing a collection is not like owing a files or having access to the files online. It’s completely different experience with physical media, especially if it is related to one of your family member.

You can’t properly convert your vinyl without expensive cartridge/turntable and analog to digital converter.
