if you want new TT, try technics SL1200G (GAE). DD system there pretty much the best you can get! Belt driven systems have significant speed fluctuations. Older restored Technics SL1000MK2/3 also are very good, EPA100 (MK2) arm can be dialed for specific cart. New SL1000R is nice, but pricey!
Where to go next with the turntable
I've been a long time owner of a Rega P7, and I feel like investigating an upgrade, I'm ot sure if I want to stick with Rega (P8 or P10) or try something else? Currently using a Soundsmith Zephyr MK III cart and Hegel V10 phono stage,
What I have now sounds good, but some more bass/warmth would be welcome.

The new MoFi MasterDeck turntable here seems to be a sonic bargain, the optional cartridge upgrade seems like a bargain as well. |
kennycI've seen the MoFi tables and love the way some of them look. Haven't seen many reviews of them |
Is the bass adequate when using a digital source? The reason I ask is that I had the opportunity to audition a couple of power amps in my main system. One was an older Lexicon, another was a fairly expensive Chord, and I threw in an older Jeff Rowland I use for video. Result? None had the bass richness of my usual power amp, a Conrad Johnson Premier 11a from the 1990s. Phono cartridges will also offer a range of bass reproduction but I'd suggest that before looking there, you first confirm whether any bass shortcomings might not be due to the amplification train.
