Turntable recommendation for under 6k

I'm a huge fan of my Townshend Rock 7.

Sota V Sapphire $3100.
Sme 309 $2400.
Grado Sonata $600.

This gets you a nice new setup within your budget!

It doesn't look like first TT from the post content view."

Maybe I'm missing something, but all I see is this.

"Hello: I am starting to look a turntable upgrade and want to budget for arm, cartridge and table 6k. Used is ok. Any recommendations appreciated and or advise. Thanks, Bruce"

If the OP was already into vinyl, I would expect more info, especially with a budget of 6k. Current setup, phono stage, mm/mc, likes dislikes, music preference, high/low output, tube/SS, Bal/SE... At some point, that info will be needed.

Just get anything with VPI written on it...can't go wrong.

How about some background information? What are you using in the rest of your system? What phono stage?
