TT Noob needing help for first decent table

Hello! New to the forum and to the world of Vinyl. I've decided to get back in the game after owning and disowning a crappy USB turntable combo. On Kijiji, there's a couple decent priced TT's in my area. I'm not 100% which to go for.


1. Technics SL-19. Auto return with Shure Hi track needle for $100
Comes with Technics SA-5160 receiver (needs servicing)
and Technics SB-L51 speakers
I have nice speakers but not a receiver with Phono so this might be a good score.


2. Shure 1225 Turntable with Shure M44E Cartridge for $50

3. HITACHI HT-324 New belt & Audio Technica stylus for $180

4. Pioneer PL-S70 Direct Drive Quartz Lock Fully auto w/repeat for $180


I'm also wondering if a Phono Pre-amp is necessary. I think it is considering my Pioneer VSX-D412 receiver doesn't seen to have phono. I've heard good things about the DJPre-2 Interface. For $40, can't go wrong. Any responses greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome to AK.
You'd probably get more responses in the Turntables section, but according to the rules, threads discussing value belong in Dollars and Sense.
