where to start analog

I am intrigued by the new found love of analog. as a 40 something boomer I grew up with this "technology". although I sold all of my albums years ago at a garage sale for pennies, "who would ever wnat to listen to them anymore". So now where do I start.

I would need a table and phono pre to hook up to my CJ 16LS. I don't want to spend a fortune since this will be an experiment to begin with. But I obviously don't want sound to be garbage either...As always your opinion are appreciated and looked forward to.
