I'm hoping I can tap into the brilliant minds here at the QQ for some help... I'd like to purchase a turntable and stereo speaker set-up for my dad (currently he listens to his albums on one of those "vintage-looking" turntable/speaker combo units... the kind you can get at Target). I know nothing about turntables. He doesn't have a hi-fi system set-up, so the whole package needs to be self-sufficient. He hates computers, so no USB stuff is necessary. I'm guessing I'll need to find some sort of powered bookshelf speakers. The turntable needs to have a built in amp (I think?)... I'd like to spend $500-600 total.
Any suggestions for the turntable and/or speakers?
(I'm also going to send him the new Elvis '57 45RPM vinyl, but I figured what was the point if he was going to listen to it on his current set-up!)
