    What country are you in? Very different options sometimes.

    What’s your budget? This is probably the biggest factor in answering your questions.

    The AT-LP60X or AT-LP3BK are the cheapest turntables you can buy new or refurbished that are actual turntables and not junky plastic pretending to be audio equipment. Link: https://outlet.audio-technica.com/catalog/category/view/id/1115/?product_list_order=name

    Do not buy a suitcase or retro-style player. They’re literally all the same cheap Chinese part that is just junk.

    For double to ten times the price, you can get vintage turntables in decent condition that are much better equipment. Especially if you can find a place to go in and shop instead of ordering online. That said, I’ve had good experiences with Reverb and eBay (but it helps if you’re a shrewd buyer). I’ve heard lots of people get great gear from Facebook, etc.

    Does Librewolf support multiple profiles like Firefox? If so that’s how I’ve always done it on Firefox. One Firefox install, multiple concurrent profiles. I even use Container Tabs on top of that.

    “The -no-remote flag allows multiple firefox profiles to run at the same time.” https://askubuntu.com/questions/660147/how-can-i-use-two-firefox-profiles

    Not sure why, but I can't leave a comment on this post. The button turns to spinning arrows and never stop. Everything else works for me. Anyone else able to comment?

  • maychill maychill 1 year ago 100%

    Turntable enthusiasts aren't being snobby when they tell you to stay away from the "all-in-one" and Crosley devices that are just junk and all made using the cheap mechanism to avoid. They won't ruin your records right away, but the stylus is rated for a very short play-time, and you shouldn't play records with worn out styluses. More importantly, they often have playback problems, and there are no adjustments you can make.

    We don't want you to waste your money or give it to the companies trying to rip you off.

    For not much more you can get an acceptable new turntable (suggestions in this thread). If you're willing to learn a bit and search for deals, there are great turntables from the 70s-90s that require very little service to get up and running and will last you as long as you need it—or until you decide to save for a higher priced turntable.

    Tips: What is my turntable worth?

    If you want to know how much you can sell your record player for, or if you're trying to find out if one you're considering buying is a good deal, make sure to use the "sold" filter when searching sites like Reverb and eBay. Make sure you search the exact model number. There are so many listings for turntables that are way overpriced, that the "asking price" doesn't reflect the true value.

    so quiet in here

    I'm glad to see the Vinyl communities have some posts, but I'm a bit sad I don't see any posters from r/turntables here yet. I'm pretty pessimistic about Reddit's future, but the r/turntables community is such a great public service. I'd say let's just all go to vinylengine, but I know it's hard to get an account there sometimes.
