Advice for a new analog system

Hello everyone and thank you in advance for your advice.

I have made the decision to venture into the magical world of vinyl.
I was considering a VPI Avenger Direct (round 34K) turntable and CJ or Audio Research phono preamps.
As a cartridge I have in mind the Clearaudio Davinci.
I have been doing some research on Agon and apparently there are a lot of users who don't like VPI and considering the investment in the turntable I imagine there must be many options. 
I prefer the short cut of a single investment for life.
My system is Mc C1100, mc 1.25Kw and Dynaudio Evidence Platinum speakers.

What turntable and system would you recommend, I appreciate your advice.

I would say, there are probably two schools of thought.  Start low and move up.  Or start high and stay there.  In college I had the VPI Scoutmaster, it was a messy ordeal.  I never was able to get good sound out of it.  I sold it before I graduated and didn’t think about vinyl for years.

 

Then I thought about going back into it but I didn’t want the same experience.  So I consulted with my audiophile friends and I decided, go all in.  Bought the Avenger Ref (this was a couple years before the DD Avenger came out)… and never looked back.  Moved from Rogue Ares to Zesto Andros and now Arc Ref 10 phono.  The analog side is without lack.
