Decent entry level turntable?

Hi all, want to try out a turntable. Started collecting some vinyl but dont have enough to warrant a big purchase. My system is pretty mixed up right now as I moved to France and had to let a lot of pieces go. So I know its not an ideal analog system.

Any suggestions for decent affordable starter turntables?

Thanks

A Rega, any Rega -sounds MUCH better than a Denon 47F, been there, done that. 103 is good on Regas as is the cheaper 110 .

Rega RP1 was a good choice. No muss, no fuss plus good build quality.

I was not aware that the RP1 has all the automatic features of the 47F, which makes it a great no fuss table. What's the expression, 'Set It, Forget It'.

Since you're just starting out, I would suggest either the Rega RP1 with Performance Pack or the Rega RP3.

Theses are great turntables for the money and are truly a "plug-n-play" solution, especially if you order them with a Rega cartridge pre-fitted.

Don't forget that you'll have to also budget for a phono stage if your present gear does not have a built-in one.
