always look above your budget, just to know, for +$200. I could have ....

then see what fits or surprisingly below budget.

Are you new to analog?  If you are, I strongly suggest you buy new so you will have dealer support for questions. Personally I like the Music Hall 5.3. $1200 all set up with cartridge and dust cover. You can get it from crutchfield and you can always call them with questions. I had the older 5.1 and it was very good for the money. Do you need a phono preamp too?  

As good as the previous  posts are I must agree with @chayro on this if you are new to vinyl playback. Setup is essential and a dealer can help with that or at least check it out of the box. If you are familiar with setup, then everyone here has goven good advice.
