Opinion: Best turntable under $2000?

Ok. I need the group's opinion again. What is the best turntable, with arm, under $2000 (not including the cartridge, phono preamp, etc)? Part two: best cartridge under $500?

They are nice machines, but I dont know where to get one. Also, JA Mitchell and Roksan always pops up with a well reviewed machine in this price range...does anyone have opinions about the Roksan Radius or the Michell Technodec?

Apples and oranges abound. Do you have any preferences in sound or aesthetics such as fast and clean, warm and rich, simple vs. tweaky?
