$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

What I have and love to listen to:

- RP6 with TTPSU
- Audio Technica 33-PTG/II
- Jasmine LP2 mkII (way better than previous Vincent phono, I tried)
- Herbie way excellent mat 2mm

Needs no spacers for setup and sounds great with factory black belt and easy 33 / 45 switching. I also upgraded to a GT ref subplatter but that can be done later. Can find most of the above used.
