Help…looking to buy turntable

I think this will be a better choice for you at $1350. Given that this is factory refurbished but from a good dealer. It is a good table made by ClearAudio and comes with a very good ClearAudio Virtuoso Wood Ebony MM cartridge. Cartridge alone retails for about $1000. For a new table, you can also consider the MoFi StudioDeck Foundation for $1199 from the same dealer.

I got back into vinyl three years ago with aRega P3. Here is one for under your budget but most new are about $1,400. Besides being a great sounding table with many great reviews it's an easy set up. I'm using a Rega preamp, about $400 I think.

For a TT I'd actually stay away from used unless you're getting a demo or open box from a dealer. Buy something new from a company that does that price point well. Personally, I'd go with a Pro-ject debut carbon evo or X1 in that range. They're a good starting spot around 1k and have some upgrade options. They come all set up so you basically drop thr platter on and play. Come with a solid cartridge and upgraded tonearm. 

Not sure what the rest of your system is but make sure you have a phono stage. If not, spend 100 on a Mani from Schitt or a phono box from pro-ject to start.
