Best Analog for $10K

I’ve spent considerable money and time assembling a great all-digital two-channel audio system. I want to experience vinyl reproduction. My budget is $10-12K for turntable, arm, cartridge, phono cable, and phono stage.
Two things I do not want. One is to get on a spiraling upgrade path. The second is to avoid too much fiddling and tweaking and adjusting.
I am open to used or refurbished equipment, as well as new gear.
I primarily listen to Jazz and Rock music. Very little classical.
Thoughts?

would recommend a Pure Fidelity Turntable with Acoustic signature tonearm, Gold Note PH-10 etc.

I posted that way because the playback process in R2R does not develops so many distortions as the LP playback whole process and because in the tape was not recorded the RIAA eq. curve and low registers comes in stereo.
@rauliruegas Just so you know, the bit of this statement after 'LP playback' is so garbled that it makes no sense. Could you restate it?

R2R does not suffer RIAA Eq. and the lowest bass registers / octaves are in stereo - unlike LP which are in mono.

Dear @ct0517  : Thank's. I could think that atmasphere knews exactly what I refered to, but....???

I can add to your post: inverse RIAA eq too, disortions/resonances/vibrations developed in between cartridge ridding LP modulations then the developed resonances developed by the TT/tonearm feedback. LP playback process is a " nigthmare " but even that sounds good.
