Recommendations on Turntable for under $1k

Hi,
I have recently been entertaining getting a turntable when I upgrade my system. I plan to have the parasound jc2 pre-amp and either parasound a21 or jc1 monos (money constraints will decide). I would would be using either vandy quatros or 5’s. I have no problem with used equipment. What would I need to use the turntable and what would you recommend. The turntable would be mainly playing rock and some jazz as that is what I have on vinyl. Thanks and look forward to your inputs.

Rega,Pro-Ject, Music Hall if new.Could get VPI Scout used for a bit more $$$ ($1200 for an $1800 deck).Remember the cartridge will make difference and a Denon DL-103 MC (if you have a MC as opposed to just MM section).Grado Gold etc.Lot's of possibilities with older decks like an Linn LP12,Thorens or a direct drive deck as opposed to belt drive.But you might need to repair or keep up older rig.Given how killer your stereo will sound I would put more into budget and start to by the fine re-issues of stuff that's coming out during this vinyl renaissance.
