Can anyone recommend a turntable and pickup
of current manufacture and of reasonable quality ?

The problem seems to be almost everything these days has a usb or some other
data interface rather than good old analogue connections.

They tend to be either USB junk - just for transferring to HD - or high
end these days. I'd keep an eye out for decent secondhand stuff.

Jim, if you're interested in a secondhand unit you could do worse that look
at the classified ads on the AV Forums site: http://tinyurl.com/297bvfr .

A search for "turntable" in the Home Cinema and Hi-Fi section throws up at
least five examples within the last ten days or so, at widely varying
prices. All are currently unsold.

Rega or Project and an Audio Technica cartridge.

You'd likely get good quality with an ebayed Technics direct drive for a
fraction of the cost, however.

I'd definitely go for old kit. There are many good decks about, and at least some good pickups. Shure did some nice ones, though a few lemons too. If its for dj use, Stanton was the usual choice, good but not brilliant, and if you find one an old Thorens deck with pause makes life a bit easier.

I never liked Technics stuff that much. Decent enough, but not really audiophile.

If your budget's minimal, there's always Dual decks, preferably the wooden ones. Sit them on a few towels and you get quite a good result for peanuts.
