Is a GREAT turntable under $2000 possible???

Congratulations!  I think you made a good choice with the Technics.

The goal of $2000 for a great table is difficult, presuming you actually adhere to the adjective great.  The Marantz is a nice enough product, presents a complete, tidy package, but great?  I can't go that far, its low-end lacks foundation and solidity.  The current lower priced Clearaudio offerings better it, but still don't come up to great  

@knollbrent in my opinion, your system looks really good.

It's a good thing to love the loudspeakers as much as you do.  I've also felt quite impressed by Piega.  They need some power, and of the solid state variety, which you have covered.  And as the MoFi cartridges are pretty new on the scene, and I've not heard them, I don't know their sonic character.

Nothing jumps out at me as anything I would change.  Asking you if you want to push things more to the liquid or engaging or some other side probably looks like the better question at this point.  If something jumps out that you have as a goal, maybe then folks can offer suggestions.  But you may already have found the right place for you
