Advice on turntables

I have an older well tempered lab turntable with ortofon  cadenza black cart and Evo 400 Prima Luma integrated Tube app with ascend acoustics tower ELX speakers. I’ve become enamored of reading and researching a little with Dr. Feickert turntables particularly blackbird or woodpecker. I’ve not heard these so this is not based on hearing them, but I will probably have to buy a new upgraded turntable without the opportunity of listening because of location and opportunity to get to high-end audio. What thoughts would you guys have regarding this selection or other recommendations you would make? thanks

If you are looking for a more classic style looking turntable you might want to look at the Project Xtension 12 I have one for the last 2 years, and it is a very solid and great sounding TT for the money, the only upgrade that I did for it was to get a LPR which made it even better. Pro-Ject Xtension 12 Turntable - Mahogany - No Cartridge

By the way I have a total of 4 Turntables 2 direct drive and 2 belt drive.

If you want to spend a bit more you can look into Acoustic Solid turntables they are made in Germany,  but are not that well known in the U.S.

They go from around 2k up to 45k in price I prefer the metal line which are the most expensive, but they have types for all kinds of tastes.
