The new X version has some improvements over the old one.

If your budget is under $200 Monolith by Monoprice Turntable with AT100E on sale for $149 is a clone of the $209 Fluance RT81 from the same factory for $60 less.

A very worthwhile step up is the newer Fluance RT82 $249. It adds an optical sensor speed controlled servo motor for lower wow and flutter and speed variation. The speed never drifts since the sensor is monitoring it 500 times a second. A later optional upgrade is the acrylic platter for $119 as seen on the RT85. If the Denon recevier does not have a phono input and if low on budget start with a $15 Pyle phono preamp which may be as good as a basic one in the Monolith and older RT81. Or a step up is the ART DJ Pre II $67. If starting with the Pyle, a later optional upgrade is the Schiit Mani $129.

The Denon recevier has an amp inside of it to power the speakers.

An alternative to the Klipsch R-51M for a lower cost is the closeout 6.5" DCM TP160 by MTX Audio $249 $89 pair. Review by u/DieselWang, Video Review and DCM TP160S vs the SVS Ultra Bookshelf.

Or the tower version DCM TP260 2-Way by MTX Audio $399 $149 pair and you don't need to build or spend $65+ on speaker stands if you don't already have some.

Speaker wire: Pure Copper Oxygen Free Speaker Wire then 4 Ways to Strip Wire. Optionally add banana plugs. Already with banana plugs AmazonBasics buy 2 for a pair 12ft each.More options at Crutchfield, DFWCableConnection, Blue Jeans Speaker Cable and Blue Jeans at Amazon.

Speaker Stands: Sturdy Monolith by Monoprice Speaker Stands. Or lower budget Dayton Audio SSMB24 or Monoprice Glass. DIY Custom Speaker Stands.

Speaker Placement: Stereo Music Listening or Home Audio and Home Theater. Also How to position your speakers for great sound for the focus diagram.

If you want a nice budget phono stage grab the ART DJ PRE II as it has adjustable gain https://www.amazon.com/ART-II-Turntable-Phono-Preamplifier/dp/B0777NFCC5/

This is a bit more that your stated budget, but I have this Pro-Ject Phonobox MM and it sounds great.

If you really can't up your budget, I've heard good things about this one...

  • Best cheapie gets the job done well.

  • My favorite semi-cheapie. I personally won't spend more than this on a moving magnet cartridge phono preamp, but your mileage may vary.

    I must say you have picked a very nice cartridge for your setup. Cartridges and speakers are where money spent can be most obviously heard.

Based off all of the info you linked above here's what I'm looking at: (can you confirm this all works together?)

Turntable: Fluance RT82 - $299.99
Speaker: DCM TP160 by MTX Audio - $80
Amplifier: SMSL SA100 - $73.99
Phono:
ART DJ PRE II - $66.99

PA10 High Fidelity Phono Preamp - $80
- Do I still need this w/ the above SMSL?

Total: $520

Yikes. But if I were to get an external preamp like DJ Art 2 I would be able to use any speakers?
