Hello guys,

I am new to this forum and a bit new to the audiophile community.

Here is my situation.

I wanted to buy the best TT under my budget which is tops 500$. I know it wont be high end but i cant afford more and i believe that this will be a good start to go vinyl.

So i ve decided that under this budget the best TT is either a Rega RP1 or a Pro-ject (havent decided which model) .

do you have any other recommendations ?

Another thing so far is choosing a good amplifier for my TT. Budget should be between 200$-400$ tops.

So far i have my beloved Beyerdynamics DT 880 (250ohm) along with a cheap headphone amplifier (BRAVO AUDIO OCEAN tube amp) which i am very satisfied. I connect them to my imac and play FLAC files and this is the best that i can get as far as audiofidelity is concerned ( I told you i am new again to this audiophile community so any recommendation would be greatly appreciated )

I also have my B&W MM1 which i absolutely LOVE . I am obsessed with these speakers and i love them ( i would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone) which i connect them to my imac via usb.

Thats all i have and i recently decided to go vinyl. As i said i have a budget of 500$ for the best TT i could get and a top 400$ budget for an AMP.

I do not have any speakers besides my MM1 so i would mostly play my vinyl through my Beyers DT880 (through the headphone amp ) and my MM1s (through a AUX ? )

I wanted to thank you in advance in any advice that you give me and thank you for your time and expertise on this .

Best regards

Teo
