Opinion: Best turntable under $2000?


Ok. I need the group's opinion again. What is the best turntable, with arm, under $2000 (not including the cartridge, phono preamp, etc)? Part two: best cartridge under $500?

Scheu Analog Cello with one of the Scheu arms will come in under your budget. Add a Dynavector 10x and you'll even have some left over for other accessories or vinyl.
Vpi with a Benz cart in your budget...nice sound! My dad and I both have the Musical Surroundings Phonomena phono stage and it can be had for $600 new, half used. His Benz cart on his VPI was at your budget and sounds pretty darn good.
How about a used Linn LP-12 with an Ittok tonearm, very musical with potential for upgrades.
Do you know a Scheu dealer? They are nice machines, but I dont know where to get one.

Also, JA Mitchell and Roksan always pops up with a well reviewed machine in this price range...does anyone have opinions about the Roksan Radius or the Michell Technodec?
Stereophile's 2005 Analogue Product of the Year - Rega P5 with the optional TT PSU and a mounted Exact cartridge. New can be had for $1600.
