No phono input on Jadis but want to buy tunrtable

Have a Jadis OR integrated amp and I want to buy a nice turntable to get back into vinyl after more than 30 years....

I have no phono inputs. What do I need to buy to make sure that I have everything I need to make this operate properly?

And what should I is a good 'complete' turntable system for something in the $500-$600 range?

Thanks in advance. I really appreciate the terrific advice that I get from you all in here !

You'll need a stand alone Phono Stage. Make sure you buy a Phono "STAGE" and not a pre-preamp which just boasts the output from a MC cartridge. A Phono "STAGE" has a built-in RIAA circuit.

You will need a phono pre amp and cables to run it into auxilary inputs on jadis. Plus the turntable, arm , cartridge. Pretty tough to do on a 500 dollar budget.Should get at least a decsent record brush for starters as well. Cheers

Mofi is correct, provided you want to use a Moving Magnet cartridge. Cheers
