Turntable recommendation

vinylvin. OP

A lot of TT’s, like the one you listed have tonearms with fixed cartridges.

I recommend tonearms with a removable headshell, to use the OEM provided cartridge, and have an alternate upgrade.

IF you upgrade to a different TT, if a removable headshell, then you can easily move your headshell(s)/cartridges to it

somewhere along the line learning alignment skills.

Good point.

But, the OM10 has an interchangeable stylus so it's easy to upgrade the stylus. Easy to go to a OM20 or 30, both nice. I had a KAB 20 on my SL1210 MG5.

Pro-ject has a bunch of options within your budget.  About 15 years ago I bought a $1000 Pro-ject, inc tonearm and cartridge, to get back into vinyl after a 20 year absence.  Provided a great tie in the water - I’ve since added two restored vintage tts to my collection, but the Pro-ject remains in my third system (with new cartridge, of course).

Here ya go!!

Rega is a good entry point… lots of choices and should be easy getting complete package. 
 

Personally I would buy from a local dealer. Tts are not like indestructible boxes and spending a few bucks on support (as in not mail ordering) can be really helpful.
