Buy something simple like the Music Hall MMF-5 or MMF-7 to get started. If you can't it set it up and get it sounding decent in 20 minutes, then you need to forget audio. They only cost $500.00 and $1,000.00 new with a nice sounding Goldring cartridge, and the setup is easy and quick.
Buy some vinyl and play with the MMF a few months. You will start learning more about LP grading, turntable setup, cleaning LPs and styli, pressing quality, and on and on. IOW, there is no magic bullet. It's not like buying a CD player. There is some work involved.
