I mainly buy used albums, because I like older music. I have two record players, one Pro-Ject and 40 years old Beogram, both have a good sound. I also listen to CD’s, if I have to buy new music. CD’s are much cheaper than vinyls. Besides that, I have started to buy old C-cassettes that I play with an old Beocord player.
Starting with vinyls is not as difficult as it sounds. Just pick up some reasonable priced player, used ones are usually great too. Just make sure the needle is in a good condition. The heavier the player is the better it usually is, tone arm’s shape is obsolete both are good, regardless if it’s a straight or S shaped.
You also need amplifier and speakers. Many of newer ones don’t have build in RIAA connections, which you need with an older turntables, some newer models might have RIAA build in the player itself so you can plug them into any amplifier.
