Technics $629 open box or $699 and it has a built in phono preamp https://hifiheaven.net/product-category/products/?s=Technics+SL+turntable&order=price&manufacturer= also from Crutchfield https://www.crutchfield.com/S-VmblQkAcahT/p_133SL50CK/Technics-SL-50C-Black.html Project Debut Carbon EVO $640 https://www.amazon.com/Pro-Ject-Debut-Carbon-EVO-pre-Mounted/dp/B08FRL1KMH the EVO 2 is $150 more. Or AT-LP120X $315 outlet deal https://outlet.audio-technica.com/turntables/at-lp120xusb-bk-cr plus now or later a stylus upgrade to the red ML stylus. ------- Orbit for what price? Orbit gets too pricey for what it is once you add options. Orbit lacks user adjustable anti-skate and only has a slider instead of a rotary dial for the tracking force adjustment. It's easy setup beginner plug and play which makes it less or less easily adjustable. Since you have the choice get a phono preamp outside the turntable, not built in. U-Turn does have the best customer service though (Crutchfield audio retailer does too). Even after the warranty they can be helpful and you may be able to pay for parts or service for reasonable prices though there are shipping costs. ------- If there is not a phono preamp in the amp or receiver or powered speakers or turntable and you need a separate phono preamp then Emotiva PH1 $59, Fosi X5 $109, Schiit Mani $149.

Technics SL50C is in your budget. Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO is also in your budget. Orbit if you want a US turntable however the custom options make it too pricey. Fluance RT82 is only half your budget. AT-LP120X $305 on sale today if you have Prime is the better value with the good ATVM95E cartridge and stylus.
