Best TT and cartridge combo used under $1500?

Please name your best vinyl recommendations on a budget constraint of $1500. Table, arm, and cartridge. Used market, in order to maximize sound yet accommodate the budget.

I've had a Marantz TT15S1 with a Benz Wood SH that I'd assembled used for $1400. They've now sold. I'm hoping to push the envelope a bit more without spending an arm and a leg.

Come on, I know you savvy used market buyers know of some absolute steals in this price range. Or do I give this board too much credit?

I agree with the system described by Grinnell. As an alternative to the V15, depending on the rest of the system, an AT-OC9MLII (if the preamp can handle the low output) or an AT-150MLX if the system not capable of handling mc carts.

You might be able to find a Gyro SE with arm for about that.
