I think you should get an entry level Project or Rega including the cartridge.
That is what I would do if I were in your place

Starting over with vinyl
Having just acquired new MMGs after a decade without music (yes, what a long strange trip it has been), I will begin to rebuild my music collection.
The question is "vinyl or cd"? I have a collection of 100 or so CDs and no vinyl at all.
My system is Adcom GTP-500, GFA-555 and MMGs. An Onix XCD-88 and Denon DCM-280 take care of the CD side.
Musical preferences are folk, bluegrass, jazz, classical and rock and roll (60s and 70s) and female vocals.
My last turntable was a Revox B970 and before that there was a Technics belt drive with a Shure V15 cartridge.
Buying used, what would be a reasonable starting place with a budget of $500 for equipment? And is there anything I should know about the phono stage of the GTP-500 (checked out and functioning as designed) that would steer me away from vinyl?
Thanks in advance for your responses
