Whoa, dumb jokes rewarded with awesome spooky sounds!  Thanks, champs.

I'm also looking for a turntable, a budget model with a built-in preamp and standard phono outputs. I'm not fussed about USB (handy but not essential for me) and I'm no audiophile, it's just that a lot of music I like doesn't get a CD release and I have a ton of vinyl so I need alright quality not anything special. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find either that TEAC or the Audio-Technica equivalent from any UK sellers. Does anyone know of any roughly equivalent models, or alternatively of anywhere that does sell them in the UK?

TheFuriousWombat:
The Pioneer PL-990 is a pretty decent budget turntable with built in pre-amp. I got mine refurbished for $100 and it sounds pretty decent and switches between 33 1/3 and 45 rpms with a simple switch. I recommend it as a good place to start before you eventually upgrade to one of those fancy lil pro-ject III for around $300 or so (really they're a hell of a lot better than the Pioneer but the Pioneer is a great started).

there is an audio technica one available, where i work sells it - i think it's around the £200 mark, and there's a fully automatic denon one which records direct onto a USB stick for the same kind of money. however, there's some good deals going around on the Project Debut 3 USB, which wipes the floor with both of them in terms of quality, you should be able to get it for around £200 if you shop around. if that's above budget, there's an Ion, Pioneer, and a Sony one all around the £100-120 mark.
