Looking to get back into Vinyl.

hello everyone,
I'm just getting back into HiFi after a couple of years in the wilderness. I'm looking to add what I suppose wil be a mid range TT combination. Reading through the press I was thinking of a clearaudio concept or a VPI Classic. I've had a Gyrodec(sme V) previously and enjoyed it immensely and I have 1000+ LP's that I'm looking forward to digging back out. So reccomendations for :

1. Turntable and arm around $2000
2. Cartridge around $500
3. Cheapish Phono stage that'll work with my AM-77 $500

I'm happy to buy second hand, in fact thats probably my preference as I'll be able to get more performace for my money.

Looking forward to hearing your suggestions.... please feel free to reccommend one compopnant or all three.

Thanks guys.

I use a PS Audio GCPH and an Ortofon Black and both are stellar performers for the price you can buy them for. Pick up a used Sota Star or Sapphire or VPI HW19 mkIV with a Sumiko MMT arm or SME 309 and you will be in vinyl heaven.

The VPI classic is also a great performer, or even an Oracle Delphi, MKIII or newer.
