Skclarey, I'm kind of doing the same thing now. It is easy to get discouraged by some of the answers here on this thread, I know, but to me trying something different is fun. So whoever supports the idea here, thanks!!!!
I'm still trying to figure out which table to get, but in the mean time I've bought few good records already.
I ordered a Technics SL-1200Mk2 in black, but it is backordered, so I am still trying to figure out to wait for SL or should I go for another table. Don't know yet.
For me buying used LPs would be OK. I live in NYC and here we have a lot of garage sales, Chelsea and Columbis ave flea markets, etc. I think it would be fun to hunt for some good used vinyl once in a while during this summer.
Never know what you can find there.
If Techincs that I ordered does not become available in the next week or so, I am thinking to cancel the SL1200 and try buying a good used table that is easy to re-sell if for some reason I decide vinyl isn't for me.
If you buy used, you can get out easy with minimal $ loss.
