Suggestions for my first turntable?

Hello all! I'm looking for suggestions on my first turntable either new or used. I'd like to keep the price under 1k for table, arm, and cartridge. My components consist of: Cary 303/100 cdp, Rogue Magnum 99 pre (recently bought a used 99 Magnum phono board) , Innersound esl amp, and Magnepan 1.6qr speakers. I'd also like any suggestions for tubes in the phono stage, although I'm not sure what tubes are in it, as I haven't yet received the phono board. I know I'm getting ahead of myself, but I'd like to be steered in the right direction. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Music Hall MMF7 has a lot of what you actually need and you won't have to break your head about matching different tables and different arms. It also has fully-adjustable tonearm.
You might switch later-on to the better cartridge.

In bellow $1000 range MMF7 has certainly the best value with the least amount of headache especially for the first time analogue buyer.
