Suggestions for my first turntable?

Hello all! I'm looking for suggestions on my first turntable either new or used. I'd like to keep the price under 1k for table, arm, and cartridge. My components consist of: Cary 303/100 cdp, Rogue Magnum 99 pre (recently bought a used 99 Magnum phono board) , Innersound esl amp, and Magnepan 1.6qr speakers. I'd also like any suggestions for tubes in the phono stage, although I'm not sure what tubes are in it, as I haven't yet received the phono board. I know I'm getting ahead of myself, but I'd like to be steered in the right direction. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

How does the Rega 25 compare to the MMF-7 and the VPI Scout (ease of set up, adjustments,etc.)?

I meant to also include the Basis 1400 compared to the MMF-7 and the VPI Scout.

Thanks for all the responses so far! I like the fact that the VPI scout can be upgraded later on along with VPI's reputation for making good turntables. The mmf-7 seems like more in my price range though. I've seen adds for the mmf-7 for around $750. which would allow my budget to buy more vinyl. I really appreciate the input and would like to hear any more. Thanks again!

Hi Mario. I'd like your opinion on a turntable please. I remember talking to another member here before and he mentioned that I should contact you about Rogue pre's when I was seeking opinions between the 66 and 99. He mentioned that you are very knowledgable about Rogue equipment. Since I'm using a Rogue Magnum 99, I'd like to know what turntables you have used with the Rogue 99 pre, and with what results. Thanks in advance!
