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?

I have Technics, but there is a difference between Direct Drive and belt drive so 

you should be sure that is a kind of sound that you like

Nice system!....Cronus and LS50s are a fun combo.

You could find a preowned VPI Scout at that price point.  I also have quite a few customers running Rega P3/P6 with a Cronus.
