Best bang for the buck turntable?

Ok I have been listening to cd's for a loooong time, its time to move up a notch and find a good turntable to go along my setup, have to admit that it will be expensive to upgrade all of my music collection from cd's to lp's but I've heard LP's and they sound way way better than cd's. I am still keeping my $3k cd player but now I want to add a nice turntable to my system. That will make my system complete. So here it goes, what turntable will be a good choice for a newbie or better yet the BEST bang for the buck turntable?

Music Hall? or other brand and if so, what are the going prices for a good new or used one?

Depends on your budget. Some people would consider a $25k table to be the best bang for their buck.

Stating your price range with limit your responses.

I'll start with Music Hall MMF-7, Rega P3, KAB Technics SL1210.

Vintage options include Thorens TD124, TD125, TD160, TD147 and Lenco L75 or L78.

I would recommend the Rega P3 with the RB 300 tone arm. That is probably what I am going to purchase as I am in the same boat you are. Although I have heard a few tables in excess of 5K I still prefer digital over analogue.
