Looking for more advice on purchasing a new turntable.


So I’m looking for Opinions/Advice from people who have high-end turntables and the experiences with. 
First, I’ll start with my system. It consists of a Prima Luna preamp and two Prima Luna amplifiers along with the prima Luna phone stage with a pair of magnepans 1.7 My budget for the table is $5000 new or used, but for that price I would want it to come with a really good cartridge otherwise, 4000 for the table and 1000 for the cartridge. 
Thanks I look forward to your recommendations.

These Threads Types regularly bring the Vintage Option to the Forefront, but not always the entirety of the options.

The Links will show an alternative for a Idler Drive TT and DD TT's which will prove to be very difficult to surpass with TT's bought at the $4K to $5K price range.

I would also strongly suggest a Vintage DD TT, proven to be in Good Order, when mounted in a particular design for a Plinth, will sit comfortably in the Company of TT's at the $20K+ purchase range in today's monies.
