Advice on a turntable for a clean midlevel system


Any opinions on a turntable to fit my system; a work in progress? My consideration:
I have 2 in college, so i need to be cost effective. Thus, I am not in the $10,000 plus spectrum.
My Likes: a system that has lots of detail with sweetness in the midrange (the better to hear Coltrane's tenor and Madeleene Peyroux's vocals) , some sound-stage, I like everything from folk, jazz, classical and rock.
Current system: Panasonic techniques turntable from 1975 with Grado Gold cartride (this I want to give to one of my sons), California Audio Lab DX 1 NAD Integrated amp- plan is to upgrade to a Creek (5350) or Bryston, Tetra M1200 speakers- they fit my listening space well.

If £2500 is midlevel, I'm going to recommend the table I own myself, the Michell Gyro SE. You can often find it packaged with their Technoarm.
You should also consider a used VPI Scout with a few tweaks like the Gingko cloud and the Nordhost Valhalla wiring for the tonearm. Great value for a great TT.
Any of the VPI tables that meet your budget. I have a classic and love it. I listen primarily to jazz and classical.

2nd to Gyro SE/Technoarm. For the past years the used price and new price increased on Michell tables for obvious reason them being champions at the given price range.
I have a VPI HW 19 MKII with a brand new motor and a Toshiba 300 tone-arm. If you live in the Northwest come and listen to it.It has a 12 pound platter and comes with the stock dust-cover. I will be listing it on Audiogon for $475.00 when I get my new TT.
