what is the best sounding turntable for 3k used?

looking for the holly grail of used TT for 3,000 or less. I would hope for reasonably easy set up. Needs to sound good with all kinds of recordings. It would be great to include good recomendations for a cartridge. Mostly listen to older jazz and rock recordings. Have a great mm/mc phono stage in my 2 piece tube pre.

I agree....under 3k go for lenco or gerrard

Under 2k go with technics and buy great cartridge

not sure if its still out there, but there was a maplenoll ariadne available. It can be a little fussy but once set up, it will provide amazing performance for that price. I am biased however toward this table. The zyx cartridges match well with the table and arm

All benefit greatly from adding a good arm.
