Turntable recommendations

Looking to upgrade my Marantz tt51 built by clear audio. Thought I have been very happy with it other than the cartridge getting bent. Which I replaced with a Soundsmith Mimic Star. I am looking to make my final tt purchase and want to make sure I get a significant upgrade to justify the money spent. $ range 4-9000 ish inc to earn. I know it’s a big spread, and prefer not spend more than I need to to make my final jump, though I don’t want to box myself in at a too low of price point and I really want to be satisfied. My current gear, primaLuna hp premium integrated amp, focal Electra 1028 Be, Luxman D-n150., soundsmith mk II phono stage. It wasn’t until I added the CD player in almost Gave up on cd’s made me realize I believe there could be improvement on tt. Any help would be appreciated. Anyone know about Vertere?

Thanks for the recommendations, not a lover of the tube look. But I see they have others. I’ll go check them out.

i am very happy with my soundSmith, I did feel a noticeable difference when going to it. It also has an amazing warranty, only 20% of the cost to re do from mfg. can’t beat that

Lots of great recommendations, still a bit overwhelming. Anyone familiar with the new Luxman tt 171 I think? 
Also anyone familiar with the Vertere?
