I stay with my Michell Gyro SE/Incognito RB300. A great combo for $2000 but you'll probably have to search for used to fit into the budget. Hook it up with Benz Glider that have literally any suitable output for any descent phono stage and finally tweak it with Walker Discs(3) that are parts of a Valid Points. This is my setup except I use Lyra Helikon right now instead of Glider. It plays any type of music. It's best with instrumental jazz and sophisticated electronics.
