obviously you need the vinyl. and the turntable. and the speakers. but what else do i need? i'm entirely new to vinyl, dont even know how you would hook speakers up to a turntable. do you need some kind of amp? haha i'm just lost! if anyone could give me a quick rundown on what you would need to get a basic setup going, or show me a guide? thanks!

all you need is the turntable, speakers, receiver and you are good to go.

U need a record player These are simple turntable with RCA,or Push-in wire speaker jacks.With More eleberate systems,the turntable,radio receiver, & tape deck would be hooked into a amplifier or Radio tuner.You may find turntables you could hook into a Boom Box or Radio Tuner if it has a 'line in' input jacks. your best bet to find a turntable or record player may a pawn shop.
