I plan to eventually purchase a turntable and am wondering if it's possible to get a good quality turntable less than $500. I also would like to have everything included in that price, like tone arm, etc.

Also, I will be getting a tube amp within the next couple of months and was told it has a tube complement of: 4 6550's/KT88's, 2 12ax7's and 2
12au7's. I was told it only has only one available line stage input and there is no phono stage. To be honest I'm not exactly sure what a phono stage is exactly. I am wondering what the best approach to take would be, as I would like to hook up my CD player and a turntable to this amp but there's only one input. Would I have to buy a phono stage and a line stage adapter that could allow more than one input? If anyone has any helpful information it would be much appreciated. Thanks
