ARC LS25 MkII preamp - Phono amp?

Apologize for my lack of appropriate terminology. Yes, turntable meaning the whole setup (cartridge, tone arm, platter, plinth, etc). 

Im just realizing a) my vinyl is from 75 to mid 80's and my CD collection from 85 to 2010. I haven't "purchased" music in 10 years. All the current music I want I streamed via phone/Bluetooth.I think investing in a quality streamer is probably the first beat move and then add a $7-900 "turntable." Does that make sense to y'all?

I highly recommend an Audio Research Phonostage. I have owned more than half a dozen. Audio Research has been known first for preamps and phono stages… I would not consider anything else. Buy the best used you can afford. My rule of thumb is TT = Phono stage = preamp = amp roughly in cost (carefully chosen of course).
 

I just got and Audio Research Reference 3SE… replacing my Audio Research Reference 3… I had little expectation of it sounding better… wow, it does! I thought the Audio Research PH8… took the phono stage out of the picture… but they just get better. The phono stage is critical in the analog end… like the DAC in the digital end.

Look @ an inexpensive Rega like the Planer 1 (plus a budget phono preamp) or the Rega Planer Plus 1 with built in phono preamp.

They are within your budget (come with a decent cartridge) and are basically plug and play.
