Since the McIntosh preamps have both MM and MC inputs, and the phono stages built into those preamps are very good, so you can use pretty much any turntable you wish. Everything will "match." Under $1000 for a turntable is a tough price point to match the quality of the C2600, however. Recommend you evaluate goals and decide if vinyl is important for your system. If the answer is YES, I recommend that you raise the budget for turntable + tonearm + cartridge. Give yourself a $5000 turntable budget, and you'll get better results. Again: if vinyl is important to you.
