If you’re looking to invest in a brand new deck, you’ll want to give yourself a slightly larger budget and start looking at entry level audiophile turntables.
That shredded $40 deck will probably equal that Crosley in sound, and with a little love will surely outshine it. I know that those Crosley decks dotting big market store shelves are appealing, super easy options to beginners, but the quality of construction and sound production are just not where they need to be. As turntable technology has advanced since the medium’s heyday, there are some truly magnificent options on the market.īut again, you get what you pay for. With that in mind, you’ll also want to take a long hard look at new turntables before pulling the trigger. So, before you scoop up that vintage turntable, you’ll really want to ask the seller some specific questions about the condition, ‘cause sometimes the old phrase “you get what you pay for” is absolutely true. Before you know it, that $40 steal has turned into a $300 repair job-and you may not even be able to find the part you need to get your deck up to snuff. It’s probable that this $40 deck is 15 years old or more.Īnd it may already be suffering from one or more of the following issues: worn out motor, shredded stylus, stretched belt or out of whack balance. When dealing with a used turntable, it’s always what’s inside that counts.
If you’re just getting into vinyl, budget may be your primary concern and that $40 garage sale/thrift store deck seems like the greatest deal on Earth.īut it also may need a ton of work to be play ready, and that could leave your head spinning at 33RPM.
