Turntable Upgrade Suggestion

Hi all! I am looking to upgrade my turntable at the end of the summer and am soliciting opinions. I really love my Rega Planar 3 / RB300 combination, but I have a few needs that are making look elsewhere. First, I'd like a removable headshell / arm tube / dual arms to support a second mono cartridge. Secondly, I'd like to have good SRA adjustment, so to help support more exacting adjustments needed for more complex stylus cuts. I will need to be able to support cartridges in the 15 cu range (i.e. my new Zyx Bloom low-output and further upgrades in the Zyx line) plus a new mono cartridge (recommendations are appreciated). I have looked at various tables, but I'm having a hard time matching up an arm / table combo that would work well. I'l like to stay in the $1500-$2000 used range for the combo.

Thank you everyone for your help!

Marc,

If it were me, I'd stay away from the removable headshell tonearms...... Why not try to get a little VPI Scout/JMW 9 and a second armwand. It's really easy to swap out the wands with these designs. The arm/table is designed to TOGETHER and would probably be in your budget used. BTW, I love my ARIES.
