Good turntables last a long time....

if you're not adverse to buying used you can get a better table than anything new. Possibilities include:

VPI HW-19 II, III or IV
Linn Sondek LP-12
Thorens TD-125

If you are willing to build a DIY plinth

Lenco
Thorens TD-124
Garrard 401

Separate tonearms include:

Rega RB-whatever, can be improved with mods from Origin Live, Incognito wiring, etc.

SME 3009/II Improved - the classic arm with the older TTs like Lenco, Thorens, and Garrard

Linn Ittok - good match with Linn LP-12

I picked up a Linn LP12/Valhalla and Ittok a few years ago as a local purchase for significantly less than $1000.

VPI HW-19/II or III plus Rega arms generally go in the same range.

Anyway, something to consider.
