Can you still buy record players?
Hell yeah, but to buy a good one you need to shell out some good coin, or you can buy a classic one and still spend some money.
I bought a 15yr old Denon DPL-62 and love it, paid 500 clams for it but it is worth every penny, its more like a piece of machinery rather than a TT.
I got it with a Signet cart, but the suspension was sacked so the shop I bought it from replaced it with a AR xxx with a shebata tip.
And like Dan said, cleanliness is key. I have several LP's that cant be discerened by pops/hiss, people think there listening to a CD and are blown away when I get up and flip the disk.
