Turntable recommendations under $1500

I have a Pro-ject 6.9 table with a Shelter 501 Mk11 cartridge. Pretty happy with the sound, but not with the pronounced motor noise. Table is mounted on brackets on a wall, so I'm not mistaking acoustic feedback for motor rumble. Anybody got any suggestions for something that sounds at least comparable but without the motor noise? Thanks!

I have the Music Hall MMF 7.1 and am completely satisfied. The 7.1 the step in Music Hall table line where the motor becomes separated from the plinth. I have a new Dynavector Karat cartridge and the Simaudio 5.3 phono cartidge.

Not buying too many CDs anymore, and having a blast listening to vinyl again.

There are a number of tables in and around $1500. I have the Clearaudio Performance, which I love, and there's one available on the 'Gon now for around $1500. I used it with your very same cartridge before upgrading to a Lyra Helikon and it was great! This table is so easy and satisfying. The only reason I'd switch is to try a suspended table, like a MIchelle or Avid.
