Hey there I'm new to the forum and also kind of new to the advanced audio thing too. What I'm trying to do is set up a record player with a decent enough system to really be able to tell the difference between playing my tunes off my (somewhat decent) computer speakers and really hearing the quality of my vinyls. I dont have a huge budget, so nothing crazy. Also I don't really know a lot of what goes into hooking up a system. I'm pretty technically inclined, but lack the knowledge/experience. Is it important for the record player itself to be top quality? or is it mainly the speaker system? Also would I be hooking the player up to a receiver and then the speakers play through the receiver? This is really where I am in the dark.

I would be looking to see how much of this I could find used on craigslist or otherwise to save money, so keep that in mind with recommendations.

Thanks in advance,

The Kaiser
