Best turntable for the buck

I now amazingly find that my analog system has fallen behind my digital system in  SQ and I want to investigate how to improve it. 
Currently I have a heavily modified Rega RP3 turntable, with two power supplies, a new platter, sub-platter and other internal enhancements. My cartridge is the Clearaudio Virtuoso.
Not that it’s bad, but I want to look for  something that will significantly improve the sound of my current setup. 
Will about a 4K investment do that?

Well, I got the Sutherland 20/20  installed on my system.  The good news is that it sounds fantastic right out of the box!  Night and day difference. Probably a much better choice than getting a new turntable,  

‘The bad news is that somehow, by shutting off one of my two power conditioners in preparation,  I can’t  get it to restart!  I’m going through the jungle of wires behind my set to find the plugs. It may take days.

I really didn’t know how much information was on my records.  It’s amazing that a preamp by itself could make that much difference.  I guess the rest of my setup isn’t that bad after all.

I’m just dumbfounded!

That is a bit of a “discord”?

Can’t be that bad. If it is sorry. I like having a well sorted system and everything in its place.

Good luck in the jungle my man. The world of difference maybe the power conditioner being off line.
