First step: get money Well, I guess we're done here
@Swissspookie
Turntable, speakers, done.
@EMH-Ascending
Hope this helps someone: If anyone is in the $400 - $500 price range, do yourself a favor and get a Fluance RT85. I have had it for over a year and man it kicks ass, super high quality, I would recommend getting a record weight to add on top.

I have an Audiotechnica I bought from Walmart for $132 it has Bluetooth and I shoot the signal to headphones or a JBL Flip 5. Don’t let audiophiles fool you into thinking your setup isn’t valid.

what i need is money
@danieldelgado5469
A preamp is not entirely necessary, but definitely recommend

@Retrogamingmaverick
If you have a receiver with a phono input, it has a built in preamp.
@martinneumann7783
I‘m fine with my old stuff from the 80‘s that I couldn’t afford back then… I love my harman/cardon amplifier! 😊
@AmuzingInteresting
Amp $25 old Pioneer AV amp with phono input. $16 pair of old Sanusi 1700 hi power very heavy speakers $14 JVC audiophile series turntable. Had to buy a needle for the record player. $134 from Japan. All from VV thrift shopping. Also a Lucky Goldstar clone of a Pioneer SR8500. It has no logo or identifying marks from the factory. Very rare. $30

Great advice for beginners, i started with a Sony MHC WZ88D ultra cheap minicomponent, with a Project Debut Carbon turntable and Project Preamplifier. However my old turntable does not have any button to switch speed between 33 and 45, and i bought it. Also i bought my "cheapo" minicomponent, Now i have a Fisher RS 270 receiver, a Diatone DS 32B loudspeakers, a Trio KP-700 turntable and a Shure M75MB type2 cartrigde. If you guys wanna start The Vintage route, make sure that your gear have replacement parts, for example modern and good alternative Stylus (f.e some Jico Stylus are compatible with my vintage Shure cartridge). Also make sure that your amplifier does include a phono connection, because you're not gonna need a Preamplifier. However you can raise Quality of Sound with a Preamplifier, but to beat The Quality of The built phono stage of The vast majority of vintage amplifiers and receivers, you're gonna need to spend a Lot (f.e Ifi zen phono Preamplifier is a good choice, anything above $200 is going to Sound better than average phono stage)
@Marc-hm8pt
This is my setup and it's really good Turntable: Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO (with Ortofon 2M Red cartridge) • Phono Preamp: ART DJPre II • Speakers: Edifier S2000MKIII (powered, active speakers) • Cables: Good-quality RCA-to-RCA cables
@oxymarvin
Audio-Technica + Bose 500 home speaker is all I need!
@MayasRock78s
Orrrrrrr you can get those old 60s 70s Rca or zenith record players with everything built in. My 60s RCA Garrard changer has everything built into a suite case styled box. And the speakers on them sound FANTASTIC.
@SoopaFlyism
Also: Outer sleeves (PP), inner sleeves (PE), shielded power cables, weight stabilizer. Cleaning: Spincare, HumminGuru Ultrasonic Vinyl cleaner, stylus brush. Don't forget snake oil.
@rlcuda
I'm not missing his point, but a curiosity you might be interested is that you can hear the record just by spinning it on the turntable without even turning it on. And if you tape a piece of paper to the tip of the arm, it amplifies it a little.
@vernwehr3550
You can also have a receiver with a built in phono stage. Turntable and passive speakers. Usually old receivers have a built in phone stage and they were made that way up until about 2000. You can usually find a good cheap am/fm receiver non HDMI on CL, Facebook mp, or maybe even a relative who has one sitting around.
@40wolfmarim95
This is why I collect cassette tapes. Low maintenance and cheap.
