What's your total budget?
Because even imaginary budgeting, if you're gonna do it right, the things it makes sense to budget for change completely depending on the budget. At $1500 it makes sense to budget for a turntable that will come in a package with arm and cartridge, and maybe even phono stage. At $40k it makes sense to budget individual amounts for the turntable, arm, cartridge, and phono stage.
So you at least need to provide a range. Or be blown off or get lame advice like half the money on speakers. Sheesh.
