Someone gives you 11 grand on the condition you buy a turntable and
arm with it (not talking retail.......after discount......) you plan
to carry your Lyra Kleos to your next table......

For me the ones at the top of the list are:

Palmer 2.5 with Audio Origami Arm (list 11995, can get for about 11000)
Basis 2200/Vector w/ Micrometer (list 11900, can get for 9900)
Oracle Delphi Mk VI w/ Turbo VI Pwr Supply and SME 345 (list 13275, can get for 10600)
Michell Orbe SE w/ SME V (list 9990, can get in mid 8s I think)
Merrill Williams 101.2 (list 7600) (1100 for 2 clamps) (arm Dynavector DV507 MK II list 5350) total=14K, can get for ??
(also considering Merrill Williams 101 at about 1700 less list)

arm/table combos not set, might take arm from one, apply to another......

Coming from VPI C3. Added 3D armwand and not connecting to the music.
W/ all respect, I'm not considering another VPI table, I want something else
after 3 in a row.....

What are your thoughts????? Can't wait to see all the opinions/ideas.....
