If you do not have a receiver with phono inputs, and you would like to be able to plug the turntable into any receiver or stereo with standard aux inputs I would recommend the Audio-Technica PL50. This turntable has a built in pre-amp which allows you to plug it into any standard stereo input. It is a fully automatic turntable with auto-retun, cueing, etc. If you would rather have a turntable with no automatic features focused more on audiophile sound let me know as I would make a different recommendation. If you would like a turntable that will stop playing when the record is finished and allow you to drop the needle with a cueing button, and can plug into any stereo, this is a great little turntable.
