It’s unclear why you want a turntable “only” for your first foray into vinyl. This eliminates table+tonearm package deals which would save you $.
Do you have a favorite tonearm or am planning to try multiple arms?
Are you trying to create a flexible upgrade path?
Usually, vinyl newbies are better economically served with a combo turntable+tonearm package. At ~$5k I would suggest a high value MoFi Ultradeck coupled with their MasterTracker combo and a PS Audio Stellar Phono Preamp both of which received great reviews.
