Best TT setup for 2k

Want to start getting into vinyl more. Currently have a Project carbon TT and cheapo Emotiva phono pre. It sound ehhh, ok but not great. I don’t know much at all about vinyl. Could I get a substantial upgrade at or around 2k for table and phono preamp? Is the Project good enough to warrant a better cartridge?

Ahh forgot to mention if I do go with another Tt I think I would definitely want one that pulls the arm automatically when the record is over. Unless there is some kind of down side to that.

Let's hope it raises the arm first! I swear, I had a Technics that did that to me for no good reason. Went manual after that.

Impulse buy today found a local Marantz TT15s1. Ended up negotiating for 850 with the Marantz dust cover included which costs 250. Was told only had about 20 hours on it. Who knows if that’s true but seems like a really good deal. Looks like upgrade phono preamp is next.
