TT suggestion in the $7 - 10K range?

Looking to get a table in the above range (not including arm) and looking for suggestions and experiences. Brinkman? VPI? SME? To name a few.

Mr. Ikeda, of Ikeda / Fidelity Research I agree, if you want my opinion, Avoid SME 20/V turntables,very expensive not justify the price, any Micro Seiki RX-1500G is superior in all aspects. A VPI JMW 12.7, Graham Phantom B-44, or a Tri-Planar VII ultimate outperforms any SME tonearm.
