Earlier this week, I laid out for you the best turntable set-ups for every budget, from $500 up to … a lot more than that.

Well it just so happens that World Wide Stereo is currently offering a deal on a sub-$500 bundle that will get you a great sounding system that’ll be up and running in no time. It features the Audio Technica LP3 I recommended at this price point but switches out my Peachtree Audio M24 for the equally well-regarded Kanto YU4. Both components feature phono preamps, and the speakers are powered, so the only other thing you’ll need is some speaker cable, and you’ll be good to go.

At their regular prices, the two pieces would cost you a combined $550, but they’re being sold here for $489, plus you get a free cork slipmat that’ll sound better and look cooler than the standard felt one, and shipping is free.

If you’ve been considering getting into the hobby, you most certainly will not be disappointed with this setup.
