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.

Whatever you end up with, your supporting setup will make it shine.

I have a similar setup-PL amp/phonostage and ML’s.

Used can get more for your money.

Based on some of the brands suggested:

Rega-I would stay with P8/ or10 with Rega cartridge(Apehta)

Rega RP8 Turntable with Apheta 2 MC Cartridge For Sale | Audiogon

Worth a try

Rega Planar 10 w/ optional Aphelion 2 Car... For Sale | Audiogon

VPI-I would negotiate your max, likely flexible

VPI HRX Rim Drive Turntable; Benz Micro LP... For Sale | Audiogon

Not mentioned, but for the price/good user review

Pro-ject Xtension 10 For Sale | Audiogon

Get a couple of subs to complete your overall setup to compliment the Maggies for proper low end.
