Hi, For the money it's hard to beat the Music Hall MMF7,orMMF9.If you buy a used table,a Linn Sondek LP12 is a fine unit,and they are upgradeable.As for cartridge and phono preamp,I would be reluctant to make any recomendations without knowing what kind of music you listen to.Some setups sound great for say accoustic classical or jazz but are horrible playing blues or rock.
