Coaching wanted on how to get back into vinyl

I could really use some advice on how best to get back into vinyl at the vinyl 101 stage. I have a Bryston BP20 preamp which does not have any phono inputs and I am now kicking myself for not choosing the BP which had the phono stage option. Do I sell this preamp and start over with the other one? Is there an alternative while keeping my present preamp? I run twin Bryston 3B NRB power amps and a set of KEF 103.2 which I like very much. I will also need a turntable which I will focus on later but would like that issue considered while makng these decisions ie MM or MC. This might sound basic to many of you, but we all start somewhere! I don't have to stick with Bryston but would prefer it. Any input is appreciated.

I'd start with an inexpensive table (Music Hall, etc.) and phono stage (Creek, etc.) to determine if you want to proceed.

You will lose little money, if any, should you decide to upgrade or just get out.

Understand that should you stay with it, the total expenditure will probably exceed what you expected to spend at the onset.

IMO, based on hundreds of transactions.
