turntable recommendations under $1500

Any suggestions.I have owned an LP12(Linn)and didn't like the plumb sound,so am looking for something better--more detail,nuetrality,dynamics,bass etc. etc.What do the vinyl veterans say?Rest of system is Zanden dac,Esoteric trans.,First Sound pre,Cello Duet 350,and 3way floorstanders(local made)Unfortunately can't "over invest" in vinyl--but want something that will hold its own with the digital rig.Not asking too much for the $ am I?
