Sony PSLX300USB - £120.
So yes, it has finally happened. I finally own a turntable; and I am mega chuffed! The turntable cost my Dad (early birthday present! Honest!) £120, then the cables to connect to speakers and etc. cost £15. It's a black plastic with a see-through lid, 2 speed, belt driven turntable. This isn't the dogs bollocks of turntables by any stretch of imagination, but for my first proper turntable it's good value and does the job. One day I will upgrade but for the moment I'm rather happy. It also has USB functionality, but I'm yet to use the turntable in this manner; I will definitely be using it to make sure I can get my music onto my iPod, as I already have amassed quite a record collection (as you can see from my Recent Pick-Ups posts in the past).
All in all, I'm absolutely chuffed to bits with my Sony turntable, it's such a nice feeling to start another musical journey and it's great to do it with vinyl. Listening is an absolute pleasure and I look forward to the very much so.
I do plan on using the turntable, and my growing record collection, to attempt to add more pieces to my blog. I've decided to devise a 50 must-haves post for albums and singles so I can have some focus to my record collecting. Once I've sorted the top 50s I am going to write posts updating my progress, kinda short and sweet blasts of what the record is, some history, why I want it, how much it cost and etc.
So yes. I am understandably very happy to welcome July with turntable in hand!
Inabit.
