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 gave my friend an SP-15 in a black base, with a Grace arm, here's one in Rosewood, with the EPA-B500 Base, and the removable S arm-wand, for removable headshells. I installed that arm base on my friend's unit, the combo is compact and awesome

@elliottbnewcombjr those are all great looking choices. Tucson isn’t a bad drive. I could visit a dealer of mine north of there on the way. Thank you for all the great suggestions.
