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?

Consider a second hand set up.

Audiophiles are often constant upgraders and you might be able to buy a turntable with cartridge for half price that someone set up properly and was happy with until upgraditis struck them, when they want to sell the existing rig to try something else

That way you might get a $20K rig for your $10K investment.
