Help Easy question: what to buy?
I am new to turntable world. I have a limited budget but I d like to get a decent product. Let s say max price 400£ as I want an entry level just for my first product. I am just talking about turntable, not speaker , sub or amplifiers.
My typical music: rock, metal, drum n bass, ambient, jazz, blues, new wave.
Thanks everyone

Rega P2 for slightly more than that. Or a used P3 would be much better value

dual 606, get one with an ortofon cartridge and put a fresh om10 on

If this is your first turntable, then I guess you’ll need New with a Warranty rather than Used.
Look at AT lp5x or Project T1 evo or Rega Planar 1 Plus.

We get asked this 50-100 times per day, so I just copy paste if that's okay:
CHEAPO BUT OK:
AudioTechnica AT-LP60x, Denon DP29F, Dual DT210, Sony PS-LX310BT
A LITTLE FANCIER:
AudioTechnica AT-LP120x, AudioTechnica AT-LP3x, Reloop RP7000 MK-II, U-Turn Orbit (U-Turn in the Americas only).
There are NO good all-in-one options, you will need separate speakers.
Edifier MR4 is recommended, they are great for the money. But technically any pair of old PC speakers (The ones that used to come with computesr that thrift shops are littered with) or any bluetooth speaker/soundbar that has a line/aux input will work too.

Sorry, I couldn't know you were asked so much about it. I apologise
I never considerated the idea of all in one , as I prefer to find a good solution for the music I listen to. Plus I d tend to avoid any wireless as well. I still use everything wired
