I'm looking to start listening to music on vinyls, but I have no idea where to start! I want to grab a vinyl player of sorts, pretty much just for listening. How much is this going to cost me? I don't want to state a budget because I want to get a feel for how much things will cost me. Maybe I should organize some questions down into a list of sorts:
- What kind of costs should I expect at a starting range?
- What should I know about parts to a turntable, like the cartridge?
- What kind of pre-amp would I need? Can I just hook it up to my audio interface (the 2i2)? It looks like I can, with just an XLR cable or something along those lines.
- What else should I know about getting into vinyls?
Thank you in advance!
