Help me make a decision! Turntable overload

Thank you Chakster!  Diving into those links...  The more I read, the more I realize how little I understand abut this stuff.  Honestly, I had no idea there would be such a steep learning curve.  I'm all about it, I just wanted to get up and running without making a big mistake out of the gate.  Definitely looking for a shortcut so i can start listening to my records.  I'm starting to get the feeling that this hobby could get expensive...  

Normally the cartridge comes with a weight. So you can compensate a little for light tone arms or light head shells.

I have a Denon 110 high output MC on a refurbished Pioneer Pl-550 and I like the old school FM sound it gives. I am not looking for resolution from vinyl.

@srereo5,

You sold Onkyo equipment  and never cared for them? I hope other dealers aren't like this?

Yup, that is correct.  Couldn't stand the equipment, many returns, and many came in for warranty work.  Their slogan back in the 70's was "Onkyo, artistry in sound". (yeah right) The audio store I worked in sold the Onkyo as the loss leader to get people into the store.  I personally liked the Marantz, Sherwood and Kenwood that we also sold and the real good stuff, the Accuphase.

I saw many Onkyo on the repair bench and the tech always complained about how cheaply made their stuff was, the circuit boards were as thin as a sheet of paper.  If someone really wanted one, I sold it to them but usually they traded up within a few months.  We dumped the Onkyo line for the JVC line which was much better.

Also, I was just one of the salesmen there, I was not privy to decisions on what equipment lines we sold.  I sold the equipment that we dealt with, like it or not.

Pay a lil extra and go for pro-ject classic or a used thorens td125 or td160.
