Upgrading Turntable suggestions


I am looking to upgrade my Turntable.  I currently have a music Hall mmf 9.1 and looking to take the next step up.  My budget is $5K and when I say $5K this means table, tonearm and cartridge all in.
The rest of the system is a Vincent hybrid integrated sv237, Vincent phono pho700 and they are hooked into magnificent Martin Logan ethos.  Have at folks...GO!!!

I recently felt the need for something to spark my moribund sounding vinyl.  With discussion/reading, I settled on a VPI Prime TT with Ortofon black cart and Lehman Black Cube Original pre amp.  HUGE improvement and I am back into analog again!  My original TT was a Project Debut Carbon.  I have ML ESLs, soon to step up to EXLXs.  Bought from SoundStateDirect, online.  Satisfied with them so far.        
Why not try a proper vintage Direct Drive turntable instead of that overpriced modern belt drives ? I’m pretty sure that Denon DP-75, Victor TT-81, Technics SP10mk2 and Technics SP-20 are superior to any belt drives and they are not expensive compared to modern turntables. Powerfull motors, immediate start/stop, speed stability and amazing build quality - this is all about Direct Drive turntables, not about belt drives. It’s better to spend more on plinth, tonearm and cartridge.

I have those Technics SP-20 / SP-10mk2 and Luxman PD-444 in use
The PD-444 is the most expensive of them (but still within your budget), but the lower priced version PD-441 is also very good (it was made by Micro Seiki) if you're looking for something to plug and play. The armbases of Luxman is fine for almost any tonearms. In this sutuation spending $2500 on belt drive is a waste of money.  
Put an idler like Lenco L75 or Garrard 301/401 in a good plinth with a Jelco 750 arm. (Don't use those hollow plinths on eBay)
Not sure what cart you are using, but I have the same TT and and recently upgraded from a Dynavector 10x5 to a Clearaudio Maestro V2 (MM).  I am playing thru a Marantz PM-11s3 with a built in phono stage.  Speakers are Focal Chorus 836V and SW800V sub.  Cart definitely tok sound to another level.  Clarity and fullness are everything I hoped for. I had the cart mounted at a local shop who did an excellent setup for a very reasonable fee. 
Check out my website and compare to anything ever made at virtually any price, new or used.
