Next year will be my sophomore year at college. In preparation for that year, I'm purchasing some audio equipment, as I was sorely lacking what I wanted last year. I've picked out my receiver and my bookshelf speakers (the PSB Alpha B1 I saw promoted here all throughout past pages), and now I'm looking for a turntable.

I have about 200 dollars to spend, though I could go a little higher if I needed to, and I was wondering what the greater community would recommend I buy.

Is the price cap I set on it unreasonable?

What do I need to know about buying a turntable?

I leave it to the masters.

Thanks.
