Entry level turntable

Hi guys,

Need advice on an entry level turntable.
My budget is up to 250.

I live in a 220 Volt - 50 Hz country.
Would using a step up transformer have an impact on sound quality ?, I'm planning to buy the turntable in the U.S.

Thanks !

Please considering increasing your budget to the Project Essential2 for about $350 plus tax. I would not play records on anything cheaper, although the Music Hall would probably be adequate if properly isolated. The Project is a real quality hifi table.

For all things vinyl I go to either NeedleDoctor or MusicDirect.
