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 !

Check out The Needle Doctor. He's got lots of inexpensive gear and it's a good place to start. A friend of mine started there with a Bellari Phono stage and Music Hall table/arm/cartridge combo and was very pleased with the sound.

You should get enough of an idea whether you really want to get back into vinyl without spending a lot of money and if you do, you can always slowly upgrade to a level you're happy with. Be careful though, it could get expensive. My friend has gone through a few tables and arms, at least a half dozen cartridges and went from zero albums to over 2000 and still counting. Actually, he liked analong so much he got into reel-to-reel and I think he's now up to six decks not to mention many, many tapes.

Happy hunting!

I have a funny feeling that this is going to get a little more expensive than I was thinking..
project debut II or rega p1, both come w/ cart. for $400ish
hagerman bugle phono pre $150ish
on budget, maybe over after you add the two requisite pairs of ic/s.
You can pick up a new Rega P1 turntable(comes with cartridge), and a used NAD or Parasound, or any $100.00 phonostage, and a used Nitty gritty wet cleaner for around $600.00.
If you are looking for something at the caliber of you or your wife's system, you will be spending a lot more than $600.
