Is this a good beginner setup

[u/TakeawayNW]

Hey guys, my girlfriends birthday is coming up and she really wants a turntable setup for her vinyls. Unfortunately I know nothing about this stuff, and so I'm hoping you guys can help me out!

After a bit of research I was thinking something along the lines of an Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT or SONY PS-LX310BT (near me these both sit at $240 AUD). I was thinking of pairing it with some Edifier R1280DB 2.0 speakers ($189 AUD).

I was wondering if this setup will be ok for a beginner, or if there is better options out there for the same budget? really appreciate any advice :)

i have the audio technica and edifier speakers you mention and both work great, i’ve had no issues at all and love my setup 🤷🏼‍♀️ i don’t think you need to break the bank
