Want to try vinyl - What equipment do I need?


I'm thinking of giving vinyl a try, and I need to know what all I'll need to buy so I can plan accordingly. Last time I did records was back in the 70s, using a Dual 1218, Bose 501s, and a Sansui receiver. Obviously, I want higher quality now. However, I’m not sure what all equipment I need, so I’m looking for some assistance.

I have a Denon AVR-3300 & Monitor Audio Silver speakers which I've used to play CDs through. Besides a TT, what else do I need to get?

TTs I'm mainly considering are Pro-Ject Xpression III, Music Hall MMH5.1, and Rega RP3, allowing about $800-900 for TT & Cartridge, new or used depending on the best deal. TIA.

Looking at the owner's manual of the Denon AVR-3300, it has a built-in MM phono stage. So all you will need is a turntable and a MM cartridge. You can sure use a MC cart, but you would need a SUT.
