$2000 turntable system

Been putting it off long enough, but decided it’s time to bite the bullet and take the vinyl plunge. (mixed metaphor alert)
Don’t want to take my usual multiple expensive false steps. The learning curve here looks pretty steep, so I figured to ask you all for some advice. Thinking to spend $2K - 2.5K. Likely to pair it with my PrimaLuna Dialogue HP Integrated and Revel F206s. Might possibly set it up with my Classe SSP-800/ Classe CA5200/ Martin Logan Montis.
What I came up with after a couple of hours of research were:

Rega PL3 turntable $945
Rega TT PSU power supply $395
Rega Exact 2 MM cartridge $595
Parasound Zphono phono stage $199

Total: $2134

Was considering Vincent PHO 8 phono stage $299 and Dynavector 10x5 MC cartridge $650 as alternatives.

Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Leo

I'm under going another Thorens TD 150 super mod build that will give most expensive tables a run for their money. My last one was sold to a gentleman who runs a VPI direct drive, which is a great super table and cost upwards of 25,000. He loves his new Thorens and has praised it's sound. this new build will fall close to your price point and will be option for you, if you can wait for the build.

Vist my virtual page for shots of the last one. The new one will vary a bit from this, who wants to build the same table over and over again? But, the basic principles  will be the same. 

Contact me if you have any interests.
