You can't go wrong with this if it's working.

Buy used locally if you can. Avoid ebay. I've seen lots of pics of turntables in pieces, because the seller doesn't pack properly.

Thanks guys,
My friend is very main stream which is to say he will likely buy from Best Buy or Amazon. Currently has a AudioTecnica not sure which one. I’m pushing for Project or similar

I had one of these back in the day - very quiet. https://www.ebay.com/itm/185467527806?hash=item2b2eb9e27e:g:0~IAAOSwfOxirFwj
Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO is $600, from many sources.

I agree that's a good choice, but was entertained by Pro-Ject's marketing spiel for the table. What is a "semi-balanced RCA phono cable"?

Hi, Depending on where you are I would go for a Lenco 75. As it is it is not a bad table. BUT when moded (see Lenco Heaven) in can be made into one of the best sounding T/T in the world.
Initial cost $140, final cost after replacing arm & making plinth at my DIY club under $2000
Cheers

Uh huh. So a twisted pair of conductors is "semi-balanced." Good to know!
Whoa those are Quasi balanced!
Must be way better than just semi balanced. lol In all fairness they do include a decent set of cables with their TTs.The laughable marketing B.S. aside, the Debut Carbon DC is a decent TT for the money. I started with one and upgraded the platter to acrylic then a Dennon DL110. Soon after I had to check out the deeper end of the pool though. 😈 It's no SL1200 but it sounded pretty good for a $500 TT. Entry level yes, but probably plenty for most 'normal', non-audiophiles.
Nothing wrong with the pro-ject recommendation, I'm currently running an RPM with carbon S-arm, very nice sound...but if I where looking for a $500 table right now that sounded and looked great, was easy to repair, great long term resale value with street cred in every city in every nation of course you would buy a used 1200 (mkII?)
$500 new TT must "literally " cost nothing to manufacture to make it profitable in any way.
Buy a Bluetooth speaker instead

Going in a different direction, what about a Technics SL5? Just rebuilt one for my GF, she loves it and it sounds surprisingly good.
