ANALOG HELP

Wow, this is overwhelming all the options and arms and catridges!!! so is there a book or something to read and get a better understanding of this type of system? I am thinking either rega p3 or I was told the marantz tt15 is a good table. as a beginner i assume its best to buy a complete table because it seems like it would be easy to buy a arm or something that didnt work for a particular table. What about cartidges are they designed for certain types of music? how do you know?

Yeah. Buy a turntable with arm and a recommended pick-up. Then you need to do a lot of research. One thing at a time. It's a big subject.

Start small, buy a turntable for around 300.00, a ortofon Red Cart and a cheap phono stage for around $100.

See if you like it. Start buying used records at the thrifts.
See if you like it.

if you do then you need to spend about $600-1500 for the TT, about $500 for a cart and about $700 for the phono stage

Dont rush.

Read stuff here, Vinyl Asylum, and Vinyl Engine till your eyes bleed

Get the Rega or Pro-Ject Xpression with Goldring 1012 or 1042 cartridge and read nothing more at this point.
