high quality turntable with built in phono at $1000?


are there any good options out of the current generation of products?
I know these types of units have been kind of frowned on in the past

u-turn audio looks decent
clearaudio concept active looks sweet but out of my price range
any thoughts or suggestions?

I’m sorry, because a built-in phono preamp is not included. I missed that part when I first read your post.

Any non-built-in-phono turntable you want with the tiny $129-$149 Schiit Mani phono amp.
+1 for noromance. Let the turntable do it’s job spinning vinyl and let a Mani or other standalone phono stage, or a built-in phono stage in an amp/preamp do its thing. 
The Technics SL-1500C is definitely a winner in and around that price point - most tables with built in Phono don't allow you to switch it off but the Technics does so if you end up with an amp or preamp with a better Phono stage you can disengage the one that's built in.
