I agree w Gau Ban,s reco.
The problem w beginner,s turntable is just that, it will serve well as a beginner,s, w/c might be 2-6 months, then after that you,ll be looking for something better...
Plus, buying a TT from eBay or amazon is generally not recommended. Damage from shipping, not being able to see actual condition, not being able to audition the unit are just a few.
There are a number of sellers locally offering a wide variety of TTs, from new to used, and abused! Watch WS Market place, for sale TTs often comes up.
Look up the sponsored sellers' section. The Analog Source ( Noly Dy) & Rene Rivo come to mind as reliable sellers. there are other credible sellers there, get in touch and talk to them. Go w/ who you'll feel comfortable with.
Most of the above recommendation/tips were given to me by gurus here in Wired State. It served and is still serving me well!
HTH
Good Luck!
