I would like to get into Turntables but ......... HELP!

This is a great tool to check arm and cartridge compatibility!

@rsa - I have a  Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC Esprit SB and I think it's a very good table at the list price. The price includes an Ortofon 2M Red, so you're ready to go.

If I were going to try a different TT right now, I think I would try something completely different and get a Pioneer PLX-1000 and add an Ortofon 2M Bronze. However, this setup would cost about 40% more than the Pro-Ject.

Also, in addition to all the above recommendations, if you go to the big box electronic store, you may see new or open box Audio Technica and Denon models. Basically plug and play including internal phono built in to the table. Both will give you the opportunity to change cartridge or platter......something to consider also. My 2 cents :)
