Hi, I own a Denon RCD-M41DAB CD Receiver and am looking to purchase a compatible record deck so that I can play my old vinyl records. I'm planning to spend up to £400. Any suggestions?
Your Denon has just one line-in for analogue. You would therefore have to purchase a TT with it's own pre amp built in, or buy a standalone one. A £400 TT could very well show up the limitations of the Denon as an amp and I would look at replacing it in the future with a good quality standalone integrated.
Rega make very good TTs and the Planar 1 would easily be within your budget allowing for a pre-amp. I would be hesitant to spend any more on a TT with the Denon.

Shame, I bought a Linn Axis/Basik plus second hand, upgraded the cartridge and reading reviews it would be on par, if not better than the Rega planar 3. I could recommend this route if second hand was an option, very sweet combination with my Rega phono preamp.
