Question about vinyl collecting

[Commodore 64***]

Thanks a ton for responding; would you happen to know where I could find a good turntable or what a reasonable price for an average setup is? And for that matter, how exactly do I go about setting the thing up with speakers, a pre-amp, stylus/needle, etc?

I just recently set myself up to play vinyl, with a modern onkyo receiver. Audiotechnica makes a very reasonable turntable, that has a pre-amp built in. You can run it like an old-school phono out, if you have an old receiver, or run it right to any line input on a modern receiver (boombox, or minishelf, or whatever) and USB. Very versatile. http://www.zzounds.com/item--AUTATLP60USB if you don't want usb you can save a few bucks" http://www.zzounds.com/item--AUTATLP60

I have been picking up records from family, friends, and stores for the past several weeks. Even my daughters love listening to vinyl. I just spent $86 yesterday on records, as a matter of fact.
