Turntable recommendation

My wife and I are looking into getting a turntable. It would get light use as we mostly stream music via Qobuz. Current system is Bluesound Node, Yamaha CD-S303, Schiit Saga+, Schiit Vidar,  NSMT Chorus 25 speakers and NSMT EXP15 sub. We do not have a record collection as of yet. Based on current gear and the fact that it will get light use. What makes sense? The $379 Yamaha CD player gets light use as well. Seems like a reasonable place to start budget-wise unless its all junk at this price point.

If you want new with warranty a Schiit Mani (phono preamp) and a Rega P1 (it comes with a decent cartridge) would run around $750.

I listened to the P1 last year when I was demoing a pair of speakers and liked the sound through a Rega integrated/phono amp.

The Mani is positively reviewed.

Fluance decks (less expensive than Rega P1) seem to be well received, but they lack VTA adjustment which would make them a no-go for me (others don't seem to mind).
