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.

Careful of TT from Japan. They are likely 100 volt AC that does not work well on 120 volts AC.

My Japan turntable is 220 volts, apparently made for the European market.

many of us use 120/100 tranformers, my 100v JVC Victor TT81 Turntable maintains perfect speed, there is no issue, except forgetting and plugging it directly into 120v by error.

this one goes either way
