turntable for daughter


My daughter has asked for a turntable for Xmas. Considering a Project Debut Carbon Evolution. Maybe a Thorens TD 190-2 if she wants automatic. any suggestions or thoughts?

Not giving her my SOTA Cosmos

Cheaper, better and easier for a beginner would be to pick up a good condition Dual. The ones that start and stop with moving the tonearm. Very good machine.

How old is she and does she have any experience using a tt?  I think that's important to know. 

+1 on entry-level Rega (P1 or P2).  Manual will teach her more about vinyl and stylus handling than will an automatic.

She is 30 and works as an attorney on the other side of the country in Boston. Has little exposure to using vinyl but has listened to my system.  Also now considering the Music Hall Classic. Am not sure whether she is going to use it with an integrated amp I can give her plus an inexpensive phono pre amp plus whatever small speakers she chooses or just a pair of powered speakers such as the PSB alpha AM3.
