Newbie to analog


I just acquired 100 LPs from a friend who retired from music listening so I'm about to get my feet wet in the world of analog. Could someone shed some light on what entry level turntable and phono preamp (used or new) that would rival the sound quality of CDs played through a Sony SCD-XA5400ES? My system consists of Tekton Lore and Grant Fidelity A534 int amp with Shuguang treasure tubes.
Thanks,
John

See if you can find a hi-end dealer in your area who sells analog. If so, maybe you can take home some gear to listen to in your own system.

Depending on the equipment you borrow, you may not prefer it over your CD player. Give it some time. You may find that you can listen to analog longer and you get more into the music. See if you tap your feet more.
