I would certainly recommend a Well Tempered Amadeus. (Full disclosure: I have an Amadeus MkII for sale now, but you can research this for yourself for an objective indication of how good these tables are).
Very musical tables and a great value. Another advantage: the table already has an excellent tonearm. Get the Amadeus and use the surplus to buy a VPI record cleaning machine and more records!
One more thing: if you do wind up spending $5k for a table, you are going to want a much better phono stage--probably an Allnic, Herron, or something on that level. Otherwise, you won't be hearing what your rig is capable of delivering. Just my two cents.
Good luck with your search.
