Hi,

I'm considering purchasing a record player. I know next to nothing about turntables and have been checking and reading stuff online about different makes and models and am, quite frankly, confused.

1) I'm looking for a good turntable between $150 - $200.
2) How important is direct drive vs belt-drive if I intend to only play records. No scratching.
3) What interface (output/inputs) should I be mindful of? (Phono, RCA etc..)
4) Any thing I'm missing?

I like the Stanton T.60 (with cartridge - I don't know what the cartridge does exactly.) and the Audio Technica AT-PL120.

I'd appreciate any advice/tips.

Thanks!
