I need to buy a new turntable, nothing to expensive but I would like a decent turntable. I have an amp with phono preamp so I dont need the turntable to have a built in preamp, I dont need usb or bluetooth. However I play alot of 12" E.Ps as well as albums so I do need a simple 33/45 rpm switch, also I dont mind manually putting the tone arm down but I do need autoreturn when the record finishes, this is because my wife also play records whilst doing things in other rooms and often she just totally forgets about the record when it has finisihed. I really like the look of the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Evo and was very tempted but unfortunately the lack of auto-return has made me think again, I read about q up accessory but it sounds like for that to work you have to remember to reset each time you use it, I can't see that happening in our house. The Rega turnatables have great reviews but they dont even have an 33/45 switch. So Im now looking at the Audio Techica LP3, this does have autoreturn and even auto tonearm down. But its clear that the sound is not going to be as good as for the others, I'm paying for a preamp I dont need and it doesn't look anyway near as nice as the other two. Does anyone have any other ideas ?
