Thanks for the recommendations. As a vinyl newbie these are really helpful. What about receivers? Do you have any posts about that? I can’t tell if it’s required for my turntable or not.

Depends on your current setup. If you're just starting out I would recommend sticking with decent speakers and turntable.

As you start getting into it I recommend either Denon or Pioneer.

For the advanced setup I would go with a Marantz.

Thanks for the recommendations. Though, at the risk of revealing my utter lack of knowledge, what does the receiver do exactly if it’s not required?

It simply amplifies sound to your speakers.

Some turntables already have a pre-amp so receivers aren't necessary.
