So tempting...! If it's still available in around 2 weeks (which I doubt ), you may be hearing from me.

Anyone know anything about Stanton? I know that they sell them at the vinyl place near me, seems to be a dj (obviously) turntable, so not sure what the audio quality is on this.

Avoid Stanton cartridges. Like the Technics turntables they're often paired with, they're designed more for DJ use than audiophile use. So they're robust and will put up with a fair amount of physical abuse, but don't sound particularly good.

I picked up a cheap Audio Technica player today along with Thirteenth Step and A Weekend in the City for my first two records to give vinyl a shot. It's definitely a different sound, not sure if I like it more than a cd or not. I do enjoy owning records over cd's though, so that's one plus. I'll have to give it more of a listen, and I'm sure owning a better quality player will change things, but for right now just trying this out.

I got a used Linn AXIS table, replaced with a Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge (better than the used original). Costed me 400$ total. I bought like for 800$ of LP in 2 months! LOL Lot's of used and new. Rare stuff is going to rape me tought. www.musicstack.com is a pretty good place to start, lot's of stuff, most of the time better price than Ebay.

If you're serious later about this. Plan to get a Phono Stage. One of the best under 500$ is the Cambridge 640p at 160$US. Wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better than my 3808ci phono section.
