Vinyl***What If***

You don't mention the investment you are willing to make for this experiment other than "inexpensive" which is subjective. Therefore, assuming a budget based on your other equipment and stated goals, I recommend a Clearaudio Concept new or used. Its pretty much plug and play and I think has enough performance for you to judge if you want to commit to the medium. You will have everything else you need.

An itemized listing of the efforts required to enjoy vinyl are not unlike the list a good cook would have if recording the preparation of a decent meal. Only a bad thing if you prefer delivered pizza!

My guess is @freedriver can pony up for a Technics 1200GR with Nagaoka MP200.

+1 on the Technics + Nag combo^

+++ for the Nakagoka
also I believe Freediver is Seattle area, might I suggest a visit w Eric at Gig Harbor Audio a Nak, Rega, Denon, Hana, Well Tempered dealer, record shop... one stop Musical drug dealer....
