Turntable - Where do I start ?

I am wanting to get into playing vinyl from time to time and have no idea where to start. I have not had a turntable for the last 20 plus years and many things have changed.
My System: Mcintosh MC 352 amp McIntosh C2200 & Mcintosh 205 CD changer. Speakers: B&W 805 Signatures.
If I had to put a "STARTING" budget on this could I get into something half way decent for $2000.00 to $3000.00 (or less)would be nice.
Open for "ALL" the help I can get.
Thanks,
Dave

The Music Hall tables are a great way to start. They are already set up with a well matched cartridge, adjusted and ready to go. The models hit price points from $200 to $1700. You'll need to invest in a phono stage/preamp also and cables with the rest of your money.

$2k - $3k is a pretty good range for variety of good tables. You can get a Teres, VPI Scout, Nottingham, Origin Live, Basis, Clearuadio, Rega, Music Hall, etc. There are proponents of all of these tables. They will all give good results. The factor to consider is which one gives the best sound in the price range. I like the Teres.
