TT Preference: Brinkmann, Sota, Dr Feickert

My shortlist of TTs is down to the following three;

Dr Feickert Blackbird 2, Brinkmann Bardo, & Sota Cosmos.

What would be your leaning between these three, and why? (Assuming cartridge and tonearm are already taken care of).
Personal tastes in music are: Jazz, Minimal / Avante Garde Electronic.

I went from an Oracle Delphi MK-III to a Linn LP12 and when I couldn't keep up with all those LP12 upgrades ($$$), I decided to go for a simple yet reliable setup and got the Rega RP6.

After auditioning a Brinkmann Bardo, I was really impressed and traded in my RP6 for the Bardo.

It's configured with the Origin Live Encounter MK3c tonearm and EMT TSD15 SFL MC cart.

Many thanks for your feedback.

I have landed on a Brinkmann Bardo with glass platter upgrade and clamp. Very happy with the purchase!

Now doing home demos of phono stages.

Congrats Mpjtf, it's one heck of a TT!

What tonearm/cartridge combo are you using on your Bardo?

I'm using SME V, Lyra Delos cartridge, and Furutech AG-12L tonearm cable.
