Top turntables under $2k

Hi there,

I've upgraded almost everything in my system save for my turntable (debut carbon dc with 2m blue).  I have kef ls50 metas (sometimes I rotate my r300's in there as well) and a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II with built in MM phono stage.  I've been looking at VPI, Clearaudio, MoFi and Technics  but can't quite figure out which direction to go that offers good synergy.  Any thoughts?

Have you considered two tonearms?

Or a tonearm with interchangeable arms?

I have the Technics SL-1210 paired with a Rogue Sphinx Integrated and Zu Audio Omen Bookshelf speakers.  Very good synergy to these ears.

this recent thread was best under 4K, but many suggestions were within your budget.
