Advice for a new analog system

Making a inroad to having a Vinyl Source with a Budget of $60Kish, this is a avenue to many many options.

The Avenger Direct is a DD TT Drive Motor design, this drive is my preferred. It also as a model, has a modern aesthetic and is aligned in styling to other High Price Tag TT designs.

It will be difficult for me to suggest it is a better performing TT, than other DD TT Options I have experienced, as I am not with a experience of the Avenger Direct.  All I can observe is that some of the alternative DD options will not carry the same features for the design as the one you are suggesting as a TT.

Where I stumble with such a design is the Cantilever Arm Board, it is a design I have never settled with, when seen used on very expensive TT's.

The TT is seemingly to be supplied with the Companies Tonearm, this to me seems a restriction to attain the TT>Tonearm permutation that has the most attractive presentation to the end users unique preference. Supplied as a Naked TT, there is a lot to be learned about Arms and where there is room to improve on the in-house offering.

Arms are notorious for having a controlling influence over the perception of the sound being presented. It is a little bit like a Rich > Transparent Perception, some dislike a Rich Perception, some want it to the point of overbearingly weighty. Some like a Transparent Perception and other like the most uncoloured clinical bite as their Transparency.

With the Tonearm the controlling influence of the design is perceivable. It is for an individual who is to live with the choice made, to reveal where their attraction is to, how much the impression of being constrained and restrictive, through to how much freedom and unsubdued the presentation is being perceived as. There will be a point where the end user finds the Smile that can't be removed, and the how do I pay moment comes out from nowhere. 

Your Budget Allocation for a TT>Arm is extremely advantageous to be able to achieve this experience from the start off.

The Cart' can be contained within this Budget as well, if alternative Brands are being looked at as a TT>Tonearm .     

There is a shortlist to be produced to extend beyond the suggestions being proposed by yourself, I am sure that with a $34K +/- ? Budget, it is not going to be limited to DD only, or only one Tonearm Option.

A single investment for life. Nice thought and I do agree that the cheapest way is to buy once. That said, if you’ve never spun vinyl before, I would go a simpler route, just to see if you really wanted to stay with it. Say, a $4k Technics direct drive with some decent cart for about $1k and maybe a nice Parasound preamp for $2k I think. Add a decent pair of cables for $500 and you’ll have a very nice rig you can play with for a year or 2 or more and probably sell quite easily if you get tired of it or want to upgrade later. That’s what I would suggest anyway. You can even go a little cheaper, but you seem to be more interested in the higher-priced range. Good luck. Just a final point, whatever you decide, I would seriously recommend buying from a local dealer who can set everything up for you and assist you with any issues that will absolutely arise along the way. 

Kuzma Stabi S. This is great value for money.

@chayro +1! That's what I would recommend! Spending $34K on a TT and more on a cartridge is a waste of money! This is where diminishing returns sets in!
