Looking for a new turntable and cart 2-3K

I'm looking to buy a turntable & cart. I have a Graham Slee Era Gold Mk V going into a Simaudio i1 to a pair of DIY Zaph Audio ZRT, which are ported 2 way floorstanders using ScanSpeak Revelator drivers.

I currently have an old Denon Dp-45 with an Ortofon 2m Red.

I'm looking to spend between 2-3K. What would you recommend in that price range that would mate well with the Graham Slee and Simaudio.
Thanks

Does anyone have a list of Well Tempered dealers? They seem hard to find.

Hollywood Sound in Hollywood, Florida is a WT dealer. The owner, Larry, is a great guy and very knowledgeable. He's also a member here (hwdsound). You can look him up here or Google for his Web site.

At $3K I'd go for a WT Amadeus. Since you're committed to a Slee Era Gold, you're looking at a high output cartridge. You could stay right at budget with an Audio Technica AT150MLX, which is an extraordinary cartridge at $300. Then you could get a premium Clearaudio or similar high output cart later wen funds permit.
