No phono input on Jadis but want to buy tunrtable

Have a Jadis OR integrated amp and I want to buy a nice turntable to get back into vinyl after more than 30 years....

I have no phono inputs. What do I need to buy to make sure that I have everything I need to make this operate properly?

And what should I is a good 'complete' turntable system for something in the $500-$600 range?

Thanks in advance. I really appreciate the terrific advice that I get from you all in here !

Dear Mattzack2: I belive that you are understanding ( a little ) what are the analog alternative needs.

You need a TT that comes already with tonearm or you buy a TT and separate tonearm ( tonearm normaly comes with the cable that you need to connect it to the phono stage ), you need a phono cartridge, you need a phono stage and IC cables to connect the phono stage to your Jadis. This is what you need in " raw/stock " way with out any kind of tweacks like TT platform or better tonearm cables or better IC cables, record cleaning machine, tonearm protractors, etc, etc.

To buy all those hardware ( you need software too: LPs. ) could means that even with a " poor "/low quality performance analog rig you can't do it with 500.00, I think that if you can stretch/wide your budget say to 1.5K you can assemble a " decent " analog rig where you really can enjoy the music through the analog alternative.

Regards and enjoy the music.
