Will a $700 turntable outperform a CD player?

I’m looking into getting a second source as I don’t want to be tied down to internet and a streaming service as my only source.  Will a $700 turntable and inexpensive phono preamp out perform a Cambridge CXC transport / Schiit Gungir Multibit?  
The Schiit Sol / mani preamp look enticing but I know nothing about turntables.

I used to dj and always used technics Sl1200’s and really liked them.  I can pick up a nice SL1200 mk3 used for $600...

I figure that before I start spending hundreds, possibly thousands, on cd’s or vinyl, I should be sure which format I want!

Thanks for any advice / input regarding this 😁

Best Regards,
Bruce

Ah little grasshopper - the three-fold embeddings are the path to truth and Nirvana; All else is Maya, which some call illusion).  Even as the holy Trinity guides our steps and the three Margas - righteously followed - lead to Moksha. While the 3-in-1 icecream satisfies the cravings of the mortal coil...

Mahgister,

Thanks for the clarification. I had no idea what you meant by the three embeddings; certainly sounded mysterious :-)

What do you do about  Electrical grid noise ?

Rochard,

Not sure what maintenance costs you experienced with TT. My P3 is at least 10 years old and I've never taken it in for bearings, belts, etc.

Maybe I'm speaking too soon (fingers crossed)?
