A friend of mine has a lot of rare LPs in his collection but ironically enough he doesn't actually have a record player himself. He's looking for one that can also transfer his records to MP3 via USB. Any recommendations?
His budget is 500€

USB is not needed at all. you can just hook the output from the receiver up to your computer and record.
I would suggest buying used, you can get a great turntable at a good price. Here is a helpful guide http://southphillyrecords.com/buying-a-vintage-turntable/

He's just looking for one in general that won't destroy his records. Now he doesn't care about the USB portion anymore

Get an audio technica lp-120 and a Shure M97XE cartridge for it.

also consider the Sony PS-HX500

sure what ever you say
anyways op you should buy an at lp 120 or pro-ject carbon. also theres more info on reddit vinyl sub
I know nothing about turntables but are old technics nice? My grandma has one that she used to listen to Elvis and Buddy Holly and I was thinking about asking her if I could buy it from her. It works and sounds great.

yeah mostly great stuff
there are a few models which were slightly mediocre but technics has a good reputation overall

literally retarded: the idea.
unless there is a DAC in between the receiver and the computer, that is. Directly hooking up the turntable to the computer's noisy as fuck input is a big no no
