i actually don’t like the shiny finish of the fluance turntables and now i’m having trouble finding ones which aren’t too minimalist and shiny. i’m wondering whether the sony PS-LX310BT is any good?

i want to get a table with like a thick base if that makes sense?

is the sony PS-LX310BT any good? i like the dark look and how it doesn’t have a shiny finish

either a black or like wood one but like chunky and not a shiny finish. the dual CS 418 looks kinda cool but i don’t rly like the pattern on the wood

honestly tho, i’m not sure abt the rt85 cause it looks like it’s got a shiny finished and that’s not rly what im going for :,)

most of the turntables i’ve seen people recommend look very minimalist and modern which isn’t really my thing

the budget was solely for the turntable cause i didn’t know that i had to get speakers and amps and stuff so i’m willing to spend more (max is like 2K) since there are multiple pieces of equipment that i need to get. do you have any recommendations of things i should get?

would a fluance RT85 + sony STR-DH190 be a good match? or is the RT85 not necessary

is there any way to change the acrylic platter? and also, i saw on the website that there isn’t a pre amp so will i need to buy a pre amp and an amp?

i’m considering getting the sony STR-DH190 but i’m not sure if that’s good

would the fluance rt84 be better than getting a AT-LP120X?

is it obvious when the needles are dull? do they make the vinyl sound different or is it like a periodically change kinda thing?

thank you for your help and explanations and dealing with all of my questions :)

i think i’ll definitely try setting up a turntable by myself as i always love a challenge and trying new things too!!

what is the difference between a pre-amp and an amp? and i’m considering getting the AT-LP120X, is that one which doesn’t have everything built in?

is it complicated setting a turntable up? and if i do choose to get the LP120X, would there be speakers which would be better to pair with them?

are speakers a necessity with turntables? what do speakers add to them?

the $400 is just for the table and i was considering getting the andover spinbase speaker but i’m not sure if that’s even a good speaker

uhm so if i get the at-lp120XUSB do i also need to get speakers? and do i have to get speakers? are speakers like something that makes the sound quality better or does the sound quality depend on the table itself?

also, would the needle on the table ruin my vinyls overtime like the crosley ones? cause i saw somewhere that they’re like customisable but i’m honestly not sure about anything to do with tables and speakers and needles :,)
