young and new to analog.


i'm 22, and am just now getting into analog sound, and was wondering if anyone in the baltimore/dc area could recommend a shop that i could find decent turntables. and suggestions as to what turntable to start with. with my current income situation, i'm looking to spend in the area of 300-500 bucks (if i get the job i just applied for, probably more) and i was looking at (based on reviews) that a pro-ject debut III with the speed box mkII would be a good way to get into the game. any other suggestions welcome.

also, as far as recievers, phono stage, and speakers go, i'm looking at those in the same price range, and have yet to decide. any help would be appreciated!

Chuckelator - If you go to United Home Audio, you might get to experience another audiophile phenomenon ..The snooty condescending salesman.

I went in there to purchase the PS audio power plant, and asked about some turntables. After saying I had a Musical Fidelity A5 CD player, he dismissivly snorted 'they sound awful', he then derided my choice of a boutique preamp (the Supratek Chenin) as crazy risky.
I didn't take it personally, but haven't been back since.
