Looking to get TT

I seeking getting into a first TT and would like help!
My current system is Classe 25 amp, Classe CP-60 pre, Sonic Frontiers SFD-2 D/A, Sonic Fontiers SFT-1 Transprt
and Martin Logan Ascent. My preamp doesn't have phono so I would need phono preamp to hook into my CP-60 so having explained my set and only wanting to spend no mor than $1000 on TT and phono pre can it be done?
Was thinkng going with music hall MMF-5 andCreek OBH-8 as this would be my first TT set up and total cost would be around $700. Is this going to give me many years of good sound? in the future I can go with phono card for my preamp.

I'm just scratching my little head trying to figure out how one can have a total of $6000(retail)in a system when just the "noise control" portion is already at $8000 (retail)!! Must be a dang blame guvment program...

Sorry, Psych, I never did well on the ASPCA. Darn lexdysia. Anyhoo, I made the assumptions that: 1)the $6000 system you're designing was for yourself, and 2)you'd be incorporating that with your $8000 noise control rig (ref your 6/02 post) for a total of $14,000.

Obviously, either one or both assumptions was not correct, although I am still unsure which. But, in fairness, I don't know how one could have assumed anything different, seeing how you mentioned that your table "fits in (the $6000 system) perfectly" and your very clear indication that the noise control rig was fundamental to "clean, musical and intimate" reproduction.

BTW- Thought that, seeing how you found a pair of $325 speakers that embarrassed a pair of B&W 801's, maybe you know of a pair of $1000 speakers that stomp the Sound Lab M-1's. Please let me know.
