Want to add vinyl to my system.

I would think the Rega's own amps must be good.

From what I have, Musical Fidelity has great phono stages

Of course, I'm biased, and without extensive experience, but I played my Rega P8 with various cartridges through a Manley Steelhead phono stage / buffer pre-amplifier, which I ran directly into my amplifiers.  It sounded very good to my ears, but I'm sure many other combinations would be very good aslo. 

I have been looking at Manley a lot lately, very cool design

If you finally decide to go with Rega (TT/cartridge) check their Aura MC.

Plenty of gain and fully adjustable.

Going all the way Rega front end would be a really good choice.

I can only but agree with mijostyn.

I am a record collector from the 70s, have reduced my collection to around 1200 or so now.

I would not bother with vinyl now if strarting from scratch. I had a superb vinyl setup, kuzma XLDC, 4pt, Atlas, Ypsilon phono. Eventually my digital caught up with the vinyl, unless playing mint analogue albums or some audiophile recordings (still marginal gains) digital was as good sometimes better. Most new LPs are from digital recordings, it also seems a lot of the recent  MoFi productions are from DSD files!

I have a Technics SL1200G now which produces terrific results when I am inclined to play a disc.

The digital is from locally stored files, I found this better than streaming roon etc.
