Looking to get TT

I seeking getting into a first TT and would like help!
My current system is Classe 25 amp, Classe CP-60 pre, Sonic Frontiers SFD-2 D/A, Sonic Fontiers SFT-1 Transprt
and Martin Logan Ascent. My preamp doesn't have phono so I would need phono preamp to hook into my CP-60 so having explained my set and only wanting to spend no mor than $1000 on TT and phono pre can it be done?
Was thinkng going with music hall MMF-5 andCreek OBH-8 as this would be my first TT set up and total cost would be around $700. Is this going to give me many years of good sound? in the future I can go with phono card for my preamp.

TOM How about this one? A Japanese Steely Dan "Can't Buy a Thrill" mint with obi. I love that one.
I said earlier that I had ALL the Steely dan on Jap pressings well that was Just to save time and space and not to offend 4yanks with some one-upmanship.

To clarify I have all the Steely Dan On Jap With 2000 yen OBI on the black rainbow MCA label MINT
save in accept "Gaucho" which is that MCA Half-speed, Pretzel logic/Canada pressing as for "Can't Buy a Thrill" I bought a new 180 gram pressing its on a black ABC label.I love that one. IT is a first rate pressing and I think limited production. well now days I think they are all limited to some extent. I have a Donald Fagen "The Nightfly" Japanese PROMO with OBI MINT you got to Love that one!!
Have you bought any of those new Columbia 180 gram reissues DON'T they such bad.

How did I do answering 4yanks nasty old post on that other turntable Thread, about the Aurora?

I was laughing my self to death reading my own post!
well I thought it was funny

For the record, I was not targeting 4yanx with my comments about "sticking together". I was referring to the other thread where there were some strong words exchanged about the comparison between the Nottinghams and the Aurora. I felt it was better if we didn't so strongly attack each other's tables. In retrospect, it would have been better if I had kept my mouth shut.

I guess it's time to put this thread to sleep!
Just want to thank those who answered my questions.
Viridian, thanks for the info on the VPI and BTW thanks for the tip on the Kenner Plug N Play as I will consider this when I get my second system up and running!

No, Tom you were right, but only one person used some strong words,and it was not me.
I Think it is wise to not bash each other and our equipment.
