I plan to buy a turntable setup and I don't know how to go through it. I have a budget of 4k-8k for turntable that is attachable to my headphone amp which is connected to my headphones. I don't want to buy an all-in-one setup. Also where is a place where I can source it used.
Suggest to 3x your budget in order to get a decent deck and a phono preamp since most amplifiers do not have a phono input. Main mistake of most newbies is to buy the cheap toy turntables which have bad fidelity and whose tonearms can damage records long term.
Try these:
Grey Market - in White Plain Belitudo Strip and VMall Greenhills
Basement shops in Makati Cinema Square - Whats Hifi and Toys for the Audio Boys
Shangrila Mall - Listening In Style and AVDI
Rockwell Mall - Acoustic Dimension
Glorietta Mall New Wing - Spectra AV and Sound Dimension
