I second @blisshifi's recommendation: Vintage Kenwood KD 500s are good, affordable DD turntables. Mine has a Fidelity Research FR 54 tonearm and an Adcom HC/E cartridge on it and it is one of the more musical combos I own. Not everyone appreciates...

What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to?
Frank Sintra next to a Clairtone Project G from the 1965 movie, "Marriage on the Rocks". It was after filming this movie that Sintra, so taken with the Project G, ordered 7 of them for himself and as gifts to his inner circle of friends.

David Byrne. Looks like a Leben amp and Technics turntable.
