I have been considering this turntable AUDIO TECHNICA AT-LP120XUSB Direct Drive Turntable which seems to be a well thought of thing, with the advantage of incorporating a switchable pre-amp so could go directly into active speakers, also, USB output to facilitating the recording of vinyl. Can be bought for about £220 including cartridge.
My Rega Planar 3 is a great thing but is belt drive so mixing up compilations is less easy than with a direct drive device.
