I was in Sweden in the year 2023, roaming around, and I came across a huge record shop. I was stunned at the volume of records being sold, in the age of digital music. I browsed through the records and I really wanted to pick a The Dark Side Of The Moon, but I did not have anything to play it on. I came back and bought a record player with 2 records in the following month from TRC.

I have a Denon DP 29F, with an iBall amplifier and speaker system.

Start with a simple easy to use, automatic player. It is possible to find an old set of speakers and amplifiers from a friend or a shop. Use that if you don't want to invest heavily in your set up. Start by collecting records you are familiar with and know will like.
