Help with turntable purchase

I've decided to buy a turntable to make use of a good bit of vinyl I still have.  I have a smallish budget (pregos wifey) to put something together and was hoping for some help.
I can pick up a Rotel RP 3000 with extra Shure V-15 cartridge for $300 or a new Music Hall mmf 1.5 for $321.  Any thoughts?  I picked up a pair of B&W CM2 bookshelf speaker for $100 at an estate sale but I need a recommendation for cables and amplification.   Thanks in advance for any suggestions even if that means going in a completely different direction with TT and speakers.

For your Shure: buy yourself a new JICO replacement stylus, look only for S.A.S. (Super Analog Stylus) with Micro Ridge tip.

As for the amp you could buy same way (at an estate sale) a good looking vintage receiver with Phono input (MM) very cheap.

Or do you want something new?

Shure v15 the stylist may not have to be replaced.


you never know, it's better to replace the stylus than your record collection :)
