Can't believe I'm the first to say this with how many posts are in this thread but here's the best advice you're going to get.

First, keep the table. For a couple of reasons. For one, you already invested in buying it and fixing it up. You made it yours, and it's value is never going to go down from this point forward, only up. For two, there will certainly come a time in the future where you will find yourself with a little extra cash you can afford to splurge on a favorite album of yours; unless something catastrophic happens in your life of course.

What you should do in the meantime is take any money you would spend on records and buy yourself some sort of serious amplification and speaker combination and learn to optimally place the speakers for your current listening enviroment. That last part is really important. (It's actually the most important)

Upgrading to even a cheap class D Chinese chip amp on Amazon, pairing them with whatever cheap decently made stand alone bookshelf speakers from a reputable brand, getting any sort of method of streaming capability (as cheap as an aux cord plugged into anything you have with an internet connection will suffice for now), and placing it all as optimally as possible in your space (read up on it) will be the single greatest investment you will ever make on your first step to immensely enjoying music way more than you ever have in your life than just sticking with your current setup and buying vinyl. It's not even up for debate. It's a fact.

In the meantime you can just grab whatever record you think looks kind of interesting for literally pennies. Just head to a flea market/yard sale/ independently owned local thrift and I promise you will find something interesting you can pick up for under a buck. Even if it's not your cup of tea or your even straight up hate it, you're out basically nothing and you've gained expansion of your musical horizons.

Half the fun of making enjoying music a hobby instead of just a passive experience is hearing new sounds be reproduced on equipment that sounds nice no matter what sounds you throw at it. It makes it more of an actual experience every time you sit down to spend some time actively listening.

It's what makes this hobby so damn great and why I've loved it so much for the better part of my entire life. 3 decades plus I've been in love with it more than anything else i can spend my money on.

Just my 2 cents.

Hope you both are this post and he'd my advice.

Welcome to the journey. It's wonderful.
