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 would like to echo some previous comments. First, I just got back into analog about 18 months ago with a VPI HW-19 Jr. I now have a full blown MK IV. So yes, VPI's upgrade path is useful. I'm also fairly certain that once you taste analog, you will want to upgrade. So I would recommend that you either look at models that are easily upgradeable, or think of increasing your original budget, so you can get something you'll be happy with for more than a month. BTW, when I have time to listen, I almost always choose LP's these days. The cd player only gets used if I'm busy and/or feeling lazy, I'm even considering selling it.

Regards,
John
