What's been your turntable ownership over the years?

I'm thinking about adding a turntable to my ma6600. Is there a quality unit that I can get for under $1,000 that would give me  90-95% sound of a high end unit ? Any recommendations for a modern looking unit with that price range would be appreciated. 

At the moment i have a Denon DP59L, a Denon 47f and a Kenwood 7010. 

Before I have had:
JVC QL 5 YF
Technic SL 1200
Technics SL 1300 mk2
Technics SL 1700 mk2
Technics SL 1500 mk2
Technics SL 1100
Technics SL 110
Denon DP 37F
Denon DP 35F

Started with a belt drive Sanyo, Don't remember the model.
 Micro Seiki DDX-1000 with an MA505 Grado XL-Super and an Infinity Black Widow ADC XLM MkIII.
Currently -
Denon DP-60L-103r on the s-pipe, looking for something for the straight pipe.
and a Music Hall 5.1 with a Project 9cc and Grado Prestige Gold.

Please.  Neither you nor I have been a member of this forum long enough to be telling other people what they can or cannot discuss.  

Yes, the formats are different.  My point was that the turntable/LP is more about "the experience:" grabbing an album, doing the sleeve thing, loading it on, cueing up, listening...watching it go round and round, listening to the "groove noise," drooling over the beautiful complexity (or simplicity) of your table, flipping after five tracks and doing it all over again.  There is none of that in digital playback.  But, if vinyl takes you to Nirvana, I get it.  But a well produced CD will always have better fidelity (freq response and dynamic range) that any LP no matter how well produced.

Portable RCA 45 rpm changer, amp speaker     Magnavox suitcase portable stereo.                 Philips 212 with Shure M91 ED.                           KENWOOD KD500 with SME/ShureV-15, currently with JH Formula 4 & Grace F-9E.         Ariston, like the Linn copy, sold w/SME/V15.     Ariston RD40 Signet XK50 with two "wands": Supex 900 Mark IV and Yamaha MC 9 to use while Supex was being "retipped". I still use the Ariston and Kenwood for my two main stereo systems.
