I heard that some of the cheaper USB turntables actually have ceramic cartridges!

Hi! Since my Dad passed on in July my intentions are to digitize some of his vinyl collections. Not only for sentimental reasons, also because he had some vinyls you can’t get from anywhere. So my questions are: What kind of vinyl player should i get? I think i read on this list that usb turntables are no good and i guess this is because the sound of the dac in the turntable? But if i by the new rega planar 1 2016 i guess i get a good player for the money or do i have to get up in price? The next thing is the Ria amp for the turntable. That has to be good enough but not in the expensive part of the price tag. Sadly i am not made of money *lol*. So any help you can give me are very welcome. Thanks in advance. /A --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
