What country are you in? Very different options sometimes.

What’s your budget? This is probably the biggest factor in answering your questions.

The AT-LP60X or AT-LP3BK are the cheapest turntables you can buy new or refurbished that are actual turntables and not junky plastic pretending to be audio equipment. Link: https://outlet.audio-technica.com/catalog/category/view/id/1115/?product_list_order=name

Do not buy a suitcase or retro-style player. They’re literally all the same cheap Chinese part that is just junk.

For double to ten times the price, you can get vintage turntables in decent condition that are much better equipment. Especially if you can find a place to go in and shop instead of ordering online. That said, I’ve had good experiences with Reverb and eBay (but it helps if you’re a shrewd buyer). I’ve heard lots of people get great gear from Facebook, etc.

Does Librewolf support multiple profiles like Firefox? If so that’s how I’ve always done it on Firefox. One Firefox install, multiple concurrent profiles. I even use Container Tabs on top of that.

“The -no-remote flag allows multiple firefox profiles to run at the same time.” https://askubuntu.com/questions/660147/how-can-i-use-two-firefox-profiles

I don't see the post anymore. I wonder if the user deleted it.

I wanted to say:

Beautiful. What amp and speakers are you using with it?

 

Not sure why, but I can't leave a comment on this post. The button turns to spinning arrows and never stop. Everything else works for me.

Anyone else able to comment?

You should find out if your cousin has any mixes you can post.

It’s great there are decent modern options. For a few years, it seemed turntable manufacturing might cease completely.

 

If you saw my post on r/turntables and ended up here, take a moment to say "Hi" and let us know your current turntable or your dream turntable.

[https://www.reddit.com/r/turntables/comments/14muuuq/crosley_etc/](On Reddit today), u/Pas444 asked:

Crosley etc...

I see the Crosley briefcase players get a lot of flack on here can anyone recommend something along the same sort of design or an alternative with decent sound quality?? Im not a massive vinyl head and only have a small collection so I cant justify spending top whack on a decent set up

I haven't got a clue about any of this bollocks so please be gentle

Here was my reply:

If you’re worried about wasting money, the suitcase/Crosley “turntables” are a rip-off regardless of whether they’ll damage your records.

Cheapest actual turntable: AT-LP60X factory refurbished from https://outlet.audio-technica.com/catalog/category/view/id/1115/?product_list_order=name ($100)

Next lowest price Audio-Technica automatic turntable is the AT-LP3 ($200)

For manual turntables, the lowest price Audio-Technica is the AT-LPW30 ($200)

Next lowest price Audio-Technica manual turntable is the AT-LP120X ($400)

If you’re looking for something portable, the Audio-Technica Sound Burger is the only modern option that’s acceptable: https://www.audio-technica.com/en-us/at-sb727 ($200). But it’s an oddball.

These prices and stock fluctuate, so check the outlet often and if you shop on Amazon, you can get alerts from https://camelcamelcamel.com/

There are other brands/turntables near these prices, so this list is just to help you compare features/prices. If you’re willing to do some learning, and keep an eye out in local stores and online, you can get a way better turntable made in the 80s-90s for the same price (or even luck out and get one for $11 like a recent post in this sub).

The Audio-Technica AT-LP60X (and it's variants) is the absolute cheapest turntable worth buying new that isn't a rip-off. You can even get a deal at outlet.audio-technica.com by buying factory refurbished units. The deals there change daily, so check on it often. You can even sometimes find great deals on models that are a step or two above the AT-LP60X.

It's automatic, so it moves the tonearm and sets it for you when you press play, and it returns the tonearm and stops when it reaches the end of the side of the record.

It has nothing to adjust. This is a bonus if you just want to plug it in and start spinning records. It's a problem if you have issues with playback from (for example) warped records.

Tip: Make sure to use a level when setting it up.

It has a decent cartridge and replaceable/upgradable stylus. It has a built-in preamp, so you won't need to shop for one. You can also select "phono out" on the back of the AT-LP60X if you want to connect it to your receiver's "phono in" to use its built-in preamp or to connect it to an external preamp.

To hear your music, you will need either powered speakers (with a built-in amp) or a receiver/amp and passive speakers.

 

Please add to this with suggestions—especially for different parts of the world.

 

If you want to know how much you can sell your record player for, or if you're trying to find out if one you're considering buying is a good deal, make sure to use the "sold" filter when searching sites like Reverb and eBay. Make sure you search the exact model number.

There are so many listings for turntables that are way overpriced, that the "asking price" doesn't reflect the true value.

 

I'm glad to see the Vinyl communities have some posts, but I'm a bit sad I don't see any posters from r/turntables here yet. I'm pretty pessimistic about Reddit's future, but the r/turntables community is such a great public service. I'd say let's just all go to vinylengine, but I know it's hard to get an account there sometimes.
