On an unrelated note to anyone interested in vinyl, I will say that you really need to get a vintage receiver/amp to go along with it, even if your turntable in modern. Modern receivers, while fine as they are, cannot compare with good vintage equipment. This is because modern receivers and vintage receivers are not built the same, nor use the same parts--unlike turntables, which today are just more advanced versions of the stuff from yesteryear. But receivers of the 70s and 80s used tubes and not digital microchips, and it's an entirely different engineering design--it's like comparing helicopters and jet airplanes. Some commonalities, but also fundamental differences. That's why so many serious musicians plug their guitars into tube amps. For home theatres, you have to use modern receivers, but if it is possible, investing in a good vintage amp/receiver is as important--maybe more important--than the turntable itself. There is still some debate about this, but ignore it--the manufactured parts are totally different, so it makes sense that it would amplify the sound in different characteristics. Not all vintage amps/receivers are better than modern ones, but in my experience they usually are. That's the problem and the advantage of analogue sound--the sliding scale. If you have really good equipment at every stage of contact--turntable, cables, amp, and speakers--it pays off big.
Don't invest in used speakers though. There's only bad things that come from that. Speakers wear out from use and can't be cheaply repaired. And the main fundamental--the way the technology is built--has basically not changed, just improved, so new speakers blow away used ones. When it comes to amps and receivers though the technology has not improved--it's just changed. And with that change comes different characteristics. New ones are more convenient and serve modern needs better (like multi-channel output, programmable buttons and decoders) but often don't sound as good. My vintage 1973 Sansui (which may sound weird since this brand went out of business in the 80s but was usually very good in it's day) broke down last year and I spent $200 fixing it because it was a much better investment than anything new. It only outputs 200 watts. Know why? Because they didn't need more watts back then. The 1000-watt digital receivers of today are a joke in comparison; they only were invented in the 90s because that is when digital technology took off, but older ones with a fraction of the wattage outperform them pretty consistently. The parts they used made it so that it outputs a signal of much higher quality and volume--and after 40 years my Sansui still works, with a bit of love. I took it to a high-end audio dealer (the same place my dad got his luxury Klipsch from) and what do you know, the technicians there owned the same piece of equipment! They even did all this extra work for me like changing some bulbs because they don't get much of these in these days. Invest in speakers and amps/receivers, not the turntable itself.
