I'm looking at buying a record player but I haven't got a clue where to start. Not looking to spend a fortune but I don't something cheap and tacky looking that'll skip.

This sort of thing will see you right.

Loads on Amazon or eBay (although the Steepletone ones at £39.95 are likely to be as much use as a Harry Moss car radio) Some come with USB playback. You don't have to spend a fortune but I'd spend at least £100 for something that will last.

I picked up a Technics SL-Q30 a while back on eBay for about £70. It's an 80's model and is great. This is the closest I find on there at the moment-

I tried a few older ones (60s) but could find one that gave decent sound quality..

Depends what you want out of them I've got a 1953, 1958 and a 1962 (first stereo I think) Dansette

pro-ject make good decks

Agree. I got a pro-ject essential 2 for Christmas. Attached it to a pioneer pdx-z9 and some B&W speakers which I already had. Put on some old LPs on that I had and was blown away by the sound. Having listened to compression files and cds for so long, I could not believe how good the sound quality was.

Without wanting to hijack this thread, any recommendations for a decent quality USB turntable for digitising my vinyl?
