Beginner Turntable

That said, the difference in your mini system won't be audible or may be subtle at best. Don't overspend if you are going to keep your mini system.

Meaning that since you have a budget sound system, it would not make sense to buy an expensive high-end TT and cart. You would not be able to fully appreciate the high quality sound and the benefits that come with it...such as more detail, better dynamics, less surface noise on the LP.
If you were to upgrade from the Denon mini to a more revealing system, then you could easily hear the difference in sound quality between TTs and carts.

So if you are planning to upgrade from the mini in the future, then you should buy the best TT you can afford.

Hi Lowrider, I have to agree with you that a better table than a USB or entry level modern table might be advantageous in the long run. A Linn or Thorens would provide the chance to make upgrades (i.e. a solid plinth and a better tonearm) along the way without breaking the bank up front for the initial purchase.
Also, turntables are the one piece of equipment that I'd have less hesitation about buying used because they're more mechanical than electrical.

I don't know how many of you have heard a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon, but it sets a
new standard for what you get for $399. Add a phono stage and it's right in the
OP's budget w/no fiddling, upgrading, refurbishing, or whatever. You can even
upgrade w/o mounting a new cartridge just by replacing the stylus with the one
for the 2M Blue.

It's so good for the price that the next logical upgrade would be the downstream
components.

Exactly what I meant, thanks you Lowrider57.

Thank you lowrider57

So, after all your threads above. I think if I will upgrade my speaker in the future then Pro-ject, if not a HM usb 1.

I think i may not upgrade it recently, BUT, i may purchase a beyerdynamic DT990. :)

So, maybe is time to save money......
