If you’re looking for an entry-level but quality turntable rig, the Technics SL-50C has got to be high on your shopping list. I think it’s a superb starting point for building an analog system—compact and lightweight, easy to assemble, simple to operate, and ready to combine with your choice of speakers, amp, and preamp (or integrated amp). More than that, it costs under $1,000 and sounds great with a variety of music. For all these reasons, I rate the Technics SL-50C as #1 on the list for my daughter, who anxiously awaits my choice for a turntable that will be the centerpiece of the analog system for her apartment.
