I personally recommend the Rega Planar 6 as a turntable that will deliver great performance and will keep up very well with the rest of your system. It retails for $1,595 so it's more than what you were considering but it is much more of a performing turntable. As another person stated, getting a vinyl setup that will meet or exceed your digital source will not be cheap. However, vinyl will be a wonderful additional source and I am confident that you will quickly become addicted to vinyl and be buying way more records than you had initially imagined. An excellent phono cartridge choice for that would be the Hana SL at retail of $750. There are plenty of very good MM cartridges in the $400 to $500 range but for a MC cartridge you just can't beat Hana SL in the "under $1K price range". And for a phono stage, the Rega Fono MC (for moving coil cartridge) or Fono MM (for moving magnet cartridge) are excellent choices. Probably the best value out there, however, is the Vincent PHO-701. It is tube driven and has the flexibility for both MC and MM cartridges. It sells for $595. I owned one for nearly a year before moving up to several new components, including a phono stage, and invested fairly big bucks, overall. It really sounded quite good and delivered outstanding imaging for a relatively modest price. For MC cartridge input it has plenty of adjustable load range to achieve the best match of sound for your gear and/or your preference. You should find that most dealers are willing to provide a discount when purchasing the turntable and phono cartridge together. Same is true with the phono stage. If you prefer to buy used product that is certainly a fine way to go. You just have to be certain of the condition of the product and that it is exactly what you want. For new gear Upscale Audio has some of the most educated sales staff, particularly on matching the right vinyl rig for your needs, your system, and your budget. You can find them on a Google search. They ship Nationally and are authorized for all they carry. Find the Youtube on the the Rega Planar 6, done by Kevin Deal (owner of Upscale Audio). He's fun to watch/listen to and he offers a very informative presentation on the product. I hope this information helps you.
Enjoy the vinyl journey.
