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.

You need someone that can support you until you learn a lot more about the whole analog front end. Find a local Hi-end dealer that has extensive experience with turntables, tonearms and cartridges including setup and adjustments/tuning. Turntables are not as easy to use as CD players.

Look for a turntable with a suspended subchassis to filter out external vibrations, such as Linn, VPI, SOTA. I owned a SOTA Star Sapphire for 18 years.
