Best set-up for up to 9k retail?

What are your thoughts on the best table/arm/cartridge set-up. So far, what I'm leaning towards is an Avid Volvare (4k), Tri-Planar arm(3k) and Lyra Helikon(2k) cartridge. Also, what's a good phonostage match?

I'm considering an upgrade from a Nottingham Interspace table/arm and a Dynavector Karat cartridge. I'm using a Bright Star Audio Rack of Gibralter and a homemade Big Rock.

I'm a big jazz fan but also dip into Steely Dan, King Crimson and Mahavishnu.

I've got a Rogue Magnum Tempest and Von Schweikert DB-100 speakers (obscure, but great).

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Tim,
I've never experienced difficulties finding KC albums whatsoever and paid a fraction of DGM remasters for them in VG+ to NM conditions.

BTW, How's King Crimson and similar progressive and heavy stuff going to sound on Teres?

Inna, Richard needs advise not debate.

TWL : Thanks for your analog advises to all of us.
Do you still have the EX3 ?

used record store near me.

It seems really scattered how the record companies decide to put out new 180 gm pressings. I wonder how they decide?
