Specifically this comment by @bazelio since it was close to what I'd be willing to drop on vinyl, haha (sorry for the trouble!):

U-Turn only make one turntable - you can just configure it with various incremental "upgrades". I'd either order the most basic model, or go for both the acrylic platter and the 2M Red cartridge. Everything else is cosmetic/convenience.

@Torq Thank you! Sorry, had trouble telling things apart in their catalogue.

Starting from there before figuring out if I want to go with something nicer down the line. Might get around to getting my grandpa's old stuff...

*sigh* This was the ONE rabbit hole I said I'd never go down. Bother.

I'm guessing that $500 spent on a DAC is going to be more satisfying that $500 spent on a table/cart combo. (To clarify the above).

@bazelio I've got a decent DAC (pretty happy with my Bifrost Multibit so far!), but I have a few LPs I inherited from my grandpa that have sentimental value, plus I'm getting a new game soundtrack box set because... I'm a fan. Haha.

Figured I might invest in a basic turntable just to get some play out of it, see if I can settle in with analogue.
