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?

It depends on whether you have set up skills, proper tools and patience. If you do, lots of good suggestions above. I'll add to the Herron phono stage suggestions, no better at the price.
If you don't, get the new Rega P10 with the best Rega cartridge you can afford. Removes the most complex variables leaving you simply with VTF and anti-skating.
