Starter turntable and MM cartridge recommendations


My daughter and her husband are putting together their first system.  They are wanting to build their system around vinyl, but are on a limited budget, with something like $700-$1000 allocated for that table and a MM cartridge.  They will be using the internal MM phono preamp on a Lyngdorf 2170 integrated.  A used table is fine.

Pioneer PLX1000 ($699 and free shipping from various online sellers like American Musical Supply) and a Grado MI cartridge ($79 and up). I bought one when I wanted to add a new TT to my collection of vintage TTs. Mine has a Denon 103R mc cartridge on it ($349). You can read Herb Reichert's review in the Stereophile archives.
