Advice on Turntable & MC cartridge under $2k

Has anyone got any suggestions for a turntable and MC cartridge, all under $2k? In general I prefer clarity and accuracy over 'character' if that makes any sense?

I'm not looking for an amp as well.

I'll keep an eye out for a used one. @chakster I'm actually quite happy with my MM cart but I need an MC to test a preamp design. I'm set up with the lab test equipment but need something for listening tests. What do you reckon I'd need to spend to get a TT and Cart without going over the top?
