Could you give any recommendations for a turntable setup that will cost all up around 500ish dollars

A complete system for $600 is a tough order.

Also, i don't know the exact prices or availablilty there.

I think that you can get a Harman-Kardon 3490 stereo receiver for around $300 or so, and it has good power and a phono preamp included, so you won't have the expense of a separate phono preamp.

The Cambridge Topaz integrated amplifier.may also be in that price range.

A pair of of Pioneer BS-22 speakers can be had for around $120 here, and they are very good. i assume they are available there.

The turntable....hmmm.

Audio-Technica has one called the LP60 that sells here for less than $200, and I think that Thorens also has one that is under $300.

The Stanton T62 is also around $200 here from Needle Doctor.

I guess you need to look at the local dealers online there and see what is in your price range.

i might start out with buying a turntable and a phono stage and build around that. for the turntable i own and recommend the "music hall mmf- 2.2". it costs about 450 US dollars. for the phono stage i own and recommend the "musical fidelity VLPS-2". it costs about 190 US dollars. you could skip the phono stage if you plan to buy a reciever or pre-amp that includes a phono stage.
