Looking for some advice.

Basically I'm getting into buying vinyl over cds and I need to get a
new turntable to replace the decaying Kenwood stack I currently use.
I like the look of the Rega P3 so I think I'll get one of those.
However, I'm unsure of what I'll need to go along with it: do I just
need a simple amplifier and a set of speakers? what are power and
pre-amplifiers and will I require one of either of these too?

You need an integrated amplifier with a phono input, and some speakers

or

a receiver with a phono input and some speakers

or

a preamp with a phono input, an amp and some speakers

or

any of the above that lacks a phono input, and an add-on phono preamp.
