Help Record Player and Sampling

I want to start sampling directly from records. What should I look for in a record player?

nothing really if u only want to sample

just make sure it has working audio cables

Might be an idea to think about durability. Something like the 1200 / 1210, because they're built very solidly and rugged. They go on forever. That's a major advantage over the cheap-end versions, which tend be fraught with problems after a while and can end up costing more than a decent one in the long run.

Always best to save and get the best you can afford at the time.

If its simply for sampling u wouldnt need much, it would hardly need to be replaced because all ud be doing is playing records.. sh!ts gonna last decades if thats all that its bein used for.

Make sure u have a pre amp or mixer with pre amp, u can get turntable pre's for quite cheap, but go with somin better if u can easily afford it.

A turntable with pitch control (+ and - 10 or 12 or even 50, whatever the turntable itself can do) would be better as aposed to a record player with no pitch besides the record speeds (33 / 45 etc)
