Will a $700 turntable outperform a CD player?

I’m looking into getting a second source as I don’t want to be tied down to internet and a streaming service as my only source.  Will a $700 turntable and inexpensive phono preamp out perform a Cambridge CXC transport / Schiit Gungir Multibit?  
The Schiit Sol / mani preamp look enticing but I know nothing about turntables.

I used to dj and always used technics Sl1200’s and really liked them.  I can pick up a nice SL1200 mk3 used for $600...

I figure that before I start spending hundreds, possibly thousands, on cd’s or vinyl, I should be sure which format I want!

Thanks for any advice / input regarding this 😁

Best Regards,
Bruce

Yes Miller carbon might bore you but just scan past. It’s more bothersome to listen to people be rude about someone else’s post. There’s better ways to make a comment.  I miss the old days when people were more respectful to each other.

 I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to the good people at audiogon and whoever it was that I said crass things about I am normally not like that at all and value everybody's opinion I thank you very much for not kicking me off the site and giving me a second chance this will never happen again all I can say in my defense is that what a little bit of alcohol can do to a person's brain

The way I understand it is that digital has finite digits.....no digits to limit LP
