Turn Table upgrade, please advise

Hi,
Thank you for reading this post. I've been in TT & records for about a year and really love the sound of vinyl. I finally thinking about upgrade my analog rigs. I currently have Clear Audio Champion Level II with 9 inch Unify arm, Twister clamp, Clearaudio Balance phono stage and zyx Air high output cartridge, going through Emotive Audio Sira LE preamp, VAC MkII Signature and finally the SAP J2001 MKII horn speakers.
I'm looking to upgrade my Unify arm to something diffirent but not sure what to go with. Any inputs, comments will be greatly appreciate.
I'm listening to classical 70% and jazz 30% on the system right now.
Thanks!

Used Audio Note AN1s for 1900/best offer...has pure audio note silver wire...will handle just about any cartridge out there...extremely rare....

...and they both have AC synchronous motors, unfit for proper speed/rotational stability.

Thanks for all the recommendation. I also wonder for $2000 upgrade, what would be the best choice? Cartdrige, tone arm, phono preamp etc..?? I recently just add the gingko platform for the TT and it was a great upgrade. How about the Walker speed control?
Thanks!

I'm not sure what exactly you mean. The hierarchy of turntable upgrade needs in my opinion is this order:

Bearing
Speed control
Tonearm
Phono stage
Cartridge

Lugnut,
Thanks for the suggestion. When mentioned speed control, do you mean some seperate device such as Walker speed control?
For bearing, that would mean upgrade the whole turn table, right?
Thanks!
