Want to add vinyl to my system.

If you don’t own any records yet, I’d say the Rega 6-8 are great to start with, you may or may not find you want to get into records, and this level would be a good place to start, or end, without too much invested. 
If you have a large collection and want to get back into it, you’d have to go a bit higher in my view, the 10 or an even higher brand of table. I say it because I own a Rega 6 and a record collection going back years. So I agree with @baylinor 

Either Rega would be a great choice

Get a great mc cart  Lyra Delos Koetsu ect

Get a current /trans impedence phono stage

and never have to worry about cart loading. 

Like a Little Loco  and you got yourself a killer 

start 

GOOD LUCK WILLY -T

Rabbit hole indeed. Love my over 2k vinyl collection and my vinyl system, however I would not go down that road if I was starting from scratch, specifically since discovering the marvelous world of streaming. Save your money and improve your streaming is my recommendation. Vinyl requires extreme

dedication, nothing like the digital you are used too. An average cost analog rig will never equal a digital one of half that cost. Food for thought.

Great for you to be taking the plunge into vinyl 👍

Lot’s of great recommendations and yes, a fully optioned out Rega 8 or 10 would be a game over solution if you keep it in the Rega ecosystem with premium cartridge & phono pre.

FWIW though, I’m amazed at what $2k worth of cartridge and phono preamp can deliver these days in the form of an Audio Technica AT33PTG/II into a Sutherland TZ Vibe when optimized with a suitable adjustable turntable/tonearm system. Just refrain from using any cheap coaxial hookup cable/wire that’s inductive - current delivery is the ticket here.

Examples of adjustable turntables could be Pro-Ject or Technics including a 1200G with a replacement tungsten polymer record mat 🎶

Game on instead game over 😉

Enjoy yourself!

You can't go wrong with the Rega. If you want a heavy platter: AVID or Pro-Ject (Signature 10 is gorgeous) 

Two ways to look at this imho

1) buy starter gear, all well known ( aka the stuff in the mags at the moment ), maybe used if quality is certain, and enjoy...knowing resale wont be a long process and upgrades are coming someday.

2) do a lot of research, more listening ( travel if need be ), decide what your top budget is and what you prefer, and then add 20% to the budget and go for a long term system :)

In any case do it! Spinning records is great fun.

I think its a dandy idea!  Best move I ever made, did it in 2006.

Started with a budget of around 6k and got a Basis 1400 table, rega.300 arm, Sumiko blackbird cart, Audio Research ph5, a VPI Cleaning machine, and record clamp.  These are the essentials you will need to get started - plenty of options out there.  Blew my digital away and I was off and running.

I've since upgraded everything and stayed in the Basis line.

High end Rega’s are very highly regarded and would be a good choice. There are many other good choices, VPI, SME, Linn.

Just as a rule of thumb I would look to invest around the same amount in a phono stage as turntable so one is not holding back the other.

I would look at used Audio Research, Conrad Johnson, and VAC. Tubed phonostages tent to get the most music / natural sound from vinyl. 

Seriously. In fact, based on your budget you could start with a Rega 3 or a good Technics 1200 feeding into a $500 phono stage and absolutely love the sound. 

Rega 8 or 10 is a fine choice. If the naysayers don’t deter you.

Better be made of money.

How many albums do you currently own? If not many I'd be telling you NOT to go down this rabbit hole. Yes vinyl sounds fantastic but will cost you more than a great digital system. Just my own 2 cents worth
