Newbie to analog

I just acquired 100 LPs from a friend who retired from music listening so I'm about to get my feet wet in the world of analog. Could someone shed some light on what entry level turntable and phono preamp (used or new) that would rival the sound quality of CDs played through a Sony SCD-XA5400ES? My system consists of Tekton Lore and Grant Fidelity A534 int amp with Shuguang treasure tubes.
Thanks,
John

(How can he 'retire'from music
Well i had a work friend who got married. he decided to get rid of the system, as it was in the basement. I happened to be the only person he knew whom he though would be happy to get such a treat.

And he and his wife would from then forward just use the upstairs media center. (they were also planning to sell that home and move to a condo...)
So for $100 i got a ton of great stuff.
Most of it I sold. i still have the Dynavector Ruby 23 cartridge.... And the Stax earphones...
And because of the stuff, in wheeling and dealing i ended up with a free to me (no out of pocket) Audio Research Sp-15.
So that is one possible reason to dump a stereo.

Wow. If Elizabeth is suggesting that the new bride's Wife Acceptance Factor for a stereo was already at zero, I wish that guy all the best of luck.
