Newbie turntable Upgrade


So I broke my cardinal rule about not going down the Vinyl Rabbit-hole, now this Alice-in-Wonderland owns a Fluance RT85, 4,count them, FOUR phonostages (Parasound XRM, Darlington Labs, Sutherland , and a Waxwing to feed my dac) Ortofon 2M Blue, and Bronze, and a Denon DL-110 cartridge along with a bunch of decent jazz and classic rock lp's. Now the need to upgrade the turntable has risen. Looking for suggestions that doesn't exceed $2K usd.

I value your opinions.

I can confirm that GR deal at Sunny is legit. Picked up one for $1695 (1210GR) and a Hana SH cart on closeout (mk1). Today is a recabling day, but I am thrilled. My first table. 
 

All in I was spinning for <$3000 with a Waxwing preamp. Very good times. Set it up last Sunday. 

Vlad has this one, I bought my TT81 from him, I highly recommend him. My friend bought a Micro Seiki 505 arm from him, I installed it on his Luxman PD444, it's terrific.

Wait until you can make/want a substantial improvement in sound quality. The Rega Planar 8 is a great entry level true HEA deck with quite possibly the best tonearm(potential) RB 880 of any turntable under $5k. 

If you’re still under $2,000 range I liked the MoFi UltraDeck

But…
Why not sell all 4 tables with 3 phono stages leaving the best cartridge and the best phono pre?

Then get the funds together and pick yourself up a nice Dr. Feichert Volare with Origin Live arm, or a VPI Prime or Prime X table. 

In my opinion Regas are great but lack in ability to fine tune VTA. They work best with Rega cartridges. 
 

 

I definitely agree with @audphile1 Sell all your stuff and buy one of each... a much better phono stage and table. you will make bigger jump and be happier longer.
