Turntable setup under $2000?

I'm interested in knowing peoples opinions on the best complete turntable setups (could be used) in the $1500-$2000 range (including deck,arm and cartridge).

I'm a total tt newbie, but would like to start off with a somewhat decent tt setup that would last a long time without feeling the need to upgrade.

I listen to mostly rock/pop type music, largely from the 60'/70's/80's, but also enjoi disco and female vocals as Adele.I would like a setup to suit such tastes.Want to have deeper bass, especially for early Beatles albums.
My current system: amp: YBA Integre DT, Loudspeakers Polk Audio LSI15, CD player Exposure 3010

Any advice would be much appreciated.

The pressure on turntables in the used market is very high. So any used TT is going to generally be overpriced at this point.
Plenty of great turntables around.
Remember you must have a phono preamp. So is part of you listed budget also include the phono box?
Generally for a person new to turntables it would be best to buy from a dealer who can give you a good combination of arm to cartridge and phono box good for that cart.
The synergy is important.
If you do not have a dealer locally. Then buy from an internet dealer who can furnish a complete setup.
