Hello. For your $2000 budget I would suggest used vintage gear and there are a lot of used old goodies.
For the phono I would recommend a vintage tube pre-amp with built-in mm phono section like a Conrad Johnson PV5 (around $400) which will destroy any separate phono pre-amp.
Turntable...many choices. Sota, Oracle, Michell Gyro just to name a few. As mentioned above, don't skimp out on a crappy cartridge.
Happy hunting!
