Hi Vinyl Enthusiasts,

I’m new to all this after successful a victrola TT at a piece celebration and began to gather records, however shortly discovered what a PoS it was.

Now I’m an improve within the sub $500 CAD vary.

Someone native has a Audio Technica AT LP-1240USB XP posted for $350CAD however it wants a brand new cowl and cartridge. Still looks like a good deal, however I’ve a pair issues.

I’m simply meaning to hear at house, no DJ’ing or ripping to digital, so my objective is only a good listening expertise. Would this mannequin be "an excessive amount of" or compromise that objective with all the additional bells and whistles?

Is there something I must be looking for/anticipate when shopping for used? Like if it was used for DJ’ing/scratching, may that influence the drive?

I’ve been Fluance and Pro-ject fashions primarily, however noticed this larger finish one pop up on market and bought curious.
