For Christmas, my parents are offering to buy me a record player if I pick one out. I have a small collection of vinyl, but I am looking to expand my collection and use them regularly. The thing is, I have no experience with purchasing the actual record player. Does anyone have suggestions as to a good-quality beginner's record player, in the $100 to $200 range? I am by no means an audiophile, but I would prefer something with good sound that will not damage the records I have.
I am also by no means a techie, so I don't know how a turntable/preamp setup is arranged. If someone could also shed some light on that as well I would be grateful.
