Turntable recommendation

My wife and I are looking into getting a turntable. It would get light use as we mostly stream music via Qobuz. Current system is Bluesound Node, Yamaha CD-S303, Schiit Saga+, Schiit Vidar,  NSMT Chorus 25 speakers and NSMT EXP15 sub. We do not have a record collection as of yet. Based on current gear and the fact that it will get light use. What makes sense? The $379 Yamaha CD player gets light use as well. Seems like a reasonable place to start budget-wise unless its all junk at this price point.

Don't forget that purchasing of used Vinyl and giving it a extended usage life, is one way of keeping out lovely little sphere of a home in better fettle.

Land Fills have plenty of boxes of Vinyl LP's buried within them, that never got to be seen by others who share an interest in them.

We just got back in to the Vinyl side of things.

Fjuance RT85 (comes with Ortofon Blue cartridge) and IfI Zen Phono Preamp.

Cost was around $800, sounds wonderful, don’t need anything more nor to spend thousands of $s to get 2% improvement in SQ.

willsenton R8 tube amp, focal Kanta 2 speakers 👍

Thank you all for the suggestions and education. I just placed an order for a Rega P1 and Pro-ject preamp. Can't wait to get started.
