How To Spend $2500 on Analog Setup

I currently own a Thorens TD321 with a Sumiko arm and a Goldring cartridge. My phono pre-amp is a Monolithic PS-2 with the MC-1b power supply. Over the past 6 months I have returned to vinyl and would like to upgrade my set up. I listen to mostly rock and jazz and enjoy the live sound. The rest of my setup is Vandersteen 3A sigs, Aragon 8008x3 with an Aragon Soundstage.

If I was going to spend $2500 would I 1) get a new turntable; 2) get a new cartridge; 3) both; 4) neither?

I am open to used equipment, but I have never purchased a used cartridge.

With respect to isolation, the Thorens is currently resting on a salamander triple bay stand. The stand itself sits on carpet on top of a concrete slab.

What forms of isolation would you recommend? Also, what cartidges should I consider?
