Recommendation for analog set for $700


I am interested to try out the analog world and would like a recommendation to jump start my research.

I am using Almarro 318B and Zu Omen Def speakers. I think I need a turn table and a phono preamp. I am looking to spend around $700 on them? I can stretch it a bit, but really like to keep it under $1000.

Thanks.

Pro-ject Debut Carbon, speed box, acrylic platter. Then save your money and get the Ortofon 2M black cartidge and put that on it. Then get some Dynamat and cut it into pieces that fit under the plinth of the turntable. Then if your budget allows, spend some money on some good phono interconnects. I did Morrow PH4, but there are many out there that are very good. Finally, get some Sorbothane grommets and put them between the turntable feet and plinth.

I did this with mine and ohhhhhh yeahhh!!!
Debut Carbon. Add the Acrylic platter and speed box. If you have some money left, add a ice set of phono cables. I have had great luck with Morrow cables.
