Hi
I need to buy a turntable for my dad , i have to take it to India.
First of all , correct me if I am wrong -- all turntables I purchase in the United states will work in India (240/60hz) WITH the help of a transformer .

Ok if the above hold true still , then what is the best semi-automatic turntable for a budget of 300$.
he doesnt need any built-in preamps or speakers.

I think you will find that India has 220-240 V and 50 Hz.

The line frequency difference is likely to be important for turntables.
