Forever turntable under $2000


In search of: forever turntable.

I'm currently looking to upgrade from my existing Pro-Ject RPM 1.3 to a table that I will (hopefully) never grow out of. I'm looking for something that is *technically* competent, something where I know the engineering is extremely solid and "timeless," and provides a good analog platform to swap carts with. My budget for this is $1600 with cart (but up to $2000 if there's a good case for it). The rest of my system is as follows:

* LSA 2.1 Statement speakers

* Schiit Gumby DAC

* Schiit Freya preamp

* Adcom GFA555 power amp

* Schiit Mani phono stage

So far, I have looked into the Rega P6 (or a used RP6), a Clearaudio Concept, a variety of Pro-Ject offerings, and a Michell Technodec... but at this level there are so many choices, its hard to know where to start. Any ideas? Thanks!

Sorry to disappoint but, in my opinion, there is no turntable you will never grow out of that meets your budget. 

You need to be thinking more like 10K new or 5K used. Plus another 3+K for cartridge.
I second the pro -ject classic. I bought the sb superpack model with the sumiko blue point no 2. It also came with speed control as well as a great record clamp and leather mat. To my ears and eyes it’s a fantastic table.im waiting to see when the classic evo comes out! What an awesome table that looks to be!
Its very ignorant that no one includes Early Thorens, Lenco or AR.

What the hell is all this love in for Technics 1200sg all of a sudden? Can anyone prove that its audiophile musical quality? Does it blow Linn and Ariston away?
