I want to upgrade my TT for about $2K.


I am finally upgrading my TT and have about $2K to put towards it.
My first choice is the Teres model 150 with the battery power option. I have an RB300 and am picking up the Incognito rewire for it anticipating that I will get the Teres.
My friend however thinks I should look around for other used options for the $2K.

Any other ideas?

Associated gear:
Audiomat Arpege
Audiomat Phono 1
Shelter 501 mkII
Reference 3a MM deCapo i's

Thanks

FWIW, I didn't like the sound of the Nottingham when I auditioned it. Too lightweight for me. Could have been the phono stage or cartridge or whatever, but I settled on a fully decked out used Linn LP-12. I have almost 4K into it now (but that includes new cartridge, T-Kable, Mana stand, etc), but you can get into a Linn for under 2K and upgrade.
Oracle Delphi IV or V would fit the bill, often overlooked but one heckuva turntable IMHO.
rega p5 and p7 are very nice turntables around that price point...sheu has several models, too, in that range factory direct from Germany

a SOTA refurbished table, several models, in that price range
