Best Analog for $10K

I’ve spent considerable money and time assembling a great all-digital two-channel audio system. I want to experience vinyl reproduction. My budget is $10-12K for turntable, arm, cartridge, phono cable, and phono stage.
Two things I do not want. One is to get on a spiraling upgrade path. The second is to avoid too much fiddling and tweaking and adjusting.
I am open to used or refurbished equipment, as well as new gear.
I primarily listen to Jazz and Rock music. Very little classical.
Thoughts?

J A Michell Gyro SE plus Techno Arm w/Dynavector 20x2L, Manley Labs Chinook phono stage, Manley Labs Jumbo Shrimp line stage.......Goose Bump City! Plus you get to tube roll!! How fun.  Once you set the Turntable up you dont have to fiddle, just enjoy :-)


And less than 10K

P.S. IMO if you dont have at least 2,000 records you may just want to stay digital. Source material will be your main problem, its harder now to find good original clean sounding albums, NEW pressings often times will disappoint.
