Looking for a new turntable and cart 2-3K


I'm looking to buy a turntable & cart. I have a Graham Slee Era Gold Mk V going into a Simaudio i1 to a pair of DIY Zaph Audio ZRT, which are ported 2 way floorstanders using ScanSpeak Revelator drivers.

I currently have an old Denon Dp-45 with an Ortofon 2m Red.

I'm looking to spend between 2-3K. What would you recommend in that price range that would mate well with the Graham Slee and Simaudio.
Thanks

I should probably add I mostly listen to rock both new and old and throw in some jazz every now and then.
the emotion is on my short list but I don't have a local dealer to audition.

I'm also considering a new Rega P5 or used P7 with an Ortofon 2M Black or a VPI Scout II or used Scoutmaster with an Dynavector 20x or possibly a Well Tempered Amadeus with my current Ortofon 2M Red.

My local dealers only sell Linn, Rega, Nottingham and Pro-Ject so anything else I would have to mail order.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
