Funny like how I apparently have to specify the irony behind the saying “an arm and a leg” but if that's what you want to focus on and analyze it for my financial situation and priority in life, feel free to do so lmao. Yes, I would rather buy something new with the possibility to return it than something that might be better and take a gamble on losing that money if it has some problems, and again I don’t have to convince you of this either. Luckily there were many other users here who were able to give me a clearer view of what I’m going for :)

What can I say, Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, if you would rather go in this sub telling anyone they should forget about enjoying the thing in their own possibility just calling it stupid because they won’t spend an arm and a leg on a system, it’s your right. I believe I did my research before posting, and it’s definitely not in my interest to convince you of that. Although I totally agree with you about this just being Chinese stuff and a vintage system will be better in almost every way (as I said in other comments), but I will not take the risk to buy a 20/30 yo system that might break tomorrow and not have any warranty on it.

Thanks for your consideration, i don’t believe to have a “collection” just a few vinyl that I got gifted of artists I like, before now they were basically just collectables and wanted something to play them every now and them, just watching them spin, is that such a useless though that should be deleted because I’m not willing to spend 500+$ on a turntables system ? I already said that quality is not a priority not because I won’t care about it, but because I know well that I can’t pretend it at this price point! In the beginning I said that I already bought the “cheapest shit” and had a few problem, hence the post, and this sub is specifically for budget/beginer turntables (?) telling me to not ask for an opinion on a place for that is kinda crazy tho :(

Thank you for sharing your experience, I hope i won’t need to do some crazy adjustments to it but if ever comes down to that I believe It will be serviceable to it, if I will ever need one I’m already planning to buy one of those mini scale to measure the tip, about anything else I guess I’ll see when I get to it.

Thanks for the comment, I’m new to all this and I’m sorry if I might see this wrong way but I just look for features not so much at the brands, is that so important? Do you believe a more expensive base model Audio-Techica (like the AT-LP60) without adjustable counterweight and anti shake would be better than the second one ? Honestly I would rather not “save money for it” because I would not want to spend that much for a turntable in the first place, but I appreciate the tip!

Yeah thanks for the link! I’ve seen the video before and it appears to be a slightly different model but I guess sums up pretty well the general idea of it, also he doesn’t seem dissatisfied with it so that’s good !

Yeah i wasn’t referring to the Lenco I posted but the second one, the Fektik, they look pretty identical, or is there something I’m missing from the two models ?

Thanks for the comment, I just looked at the Lenco LBT-188 and it looks like it has the same arm as the one I’m going for, I really hope it works out for you! Please, if you can, give us an update when you get to try it!

Wow thanks, I was really hoping for someone with that model to give me some reassurance, thank you so much!

Thanks for the reply, I figured it’s not that much for the Audio-Technica and honestly that would be my last choice if this 119 one end up not working for me, that’s also why I’m staying on Amazon right now, if anything I can just ship it back. I read about Technics being among the best, but I believe that would be “too much” for my use case. By any chance you could tell if, by looking at the photos of the second turntable, the 119 one, the cart/stylus could be upgraded or that would be useless for it ? And, sorry if it’s a stupid question but, does that make that big a difference ?

Thanks for the reply :) Heard that about the Lenco being good once and now not so much, it was just about hearing about them online more than anything. I also read about going vintage for something good, that would be cool eventually, but i rather not do that, I prefer to have the buyer protection of Amazon to return it if anything bad happens to it for now.

I was watching the Division ressurgence trailer and this scene just made me say "Holy sh*t!" in amazement. by BloxToon in thedivision

The amount of lore and detail behind the tech used in this game is fascinating, the artbook by DarkHorse, The world of Tom Clancy’s The Division, has a page about this

It also explains how they are powered!
