I'm New To Vinyl - Which Turntable Should I Buy?

My system consists of a pair of Krell 450 Mcx mono amps, Krell HTS 7.1 pre-pro, Piega P10 loudspeakers with MIT cableing and Mark Levinson No.39 cdp. The room is a large 20'x20' family room with 2 story ceiling. My music preference is jazz, accoustic, classical and vocals.

I want to get into vinyl and get a used turntable to try this end of the hobby. I'm not sure if the $2000 range can get me started with something decent including a tone arm and cartridge.

I'm open to any and all suggestions. Thank you.

$2,000 dollars? Ok, I'm going to assume audiophile used will work for you and that you want the 'tried and true'. Well, here's some ways to get away with 2k...(hey, that rhymed...neat)

1. VPI HW 19 MK IV/SAMA/PLC. For an arm, choose a BritAudio 1 or a Linn Ekos. Phonostage is a Bottlehead seduction and the cart is a ClearAudio Aurum Classics Wood.

2. VPI Scout/JMW 10/Dynavector 10x5. Phonostage is either the seduction or a used Lehmann Black Cube

3.Sota Comet with an RB-250. Detach the 250 and sent it to BritAudio.com for a JA Michel Counterweight and Incognito wiring upgrade. Purchase a used Acoustic Research PH-3 and a Shelter 501 Mk II.

Let me know if you need more,
