Newbie to analog


I just acquired 100 LPs from a friend who retired from music listening so I'm about to get my feet wet in the world of analog. Could someone shed some light on what entry level turntable and phono preamp (used or new) that would rival the sound quality of CDs played through a Sony SCD-XA5400ES? My system consists of Tekton Lore and Grant Fidelity A534 int amp with Shuguang treasure tubes.
Thanks,
John

Wow. If Elizabeth is suggesting that the new bride's Wife Acceptance Factor for a stereo was already at zero, I wish that guy all the best of luck.
