Turntable Decision

SOTA.  And don't skimp on the arm.  The Jelco TK-850 series of arms is excellent, but I think Jelco might have closed up shop. 

Use the Herron system.  The other system can't make up for the superiority of the Herron phono stage.

Was using a Vertere Phono1, replaced it with the JC-3+   Big improvement in sound overall.  

Having owned a LinnLP12 and an Oracle …. Might I suggest an Oracle Delphi if you want a suspended deck . Sonically much better than gyrodek or SOTA in my opinion

I would love to upgrade from my Rega Planar 3 but some of these prices are way out of my price range! Can someone recommend an affordable plate that coexists with my Denon AVR2700 with an Marantz 8005 powering my LF B&W 601 and center Kef with the surrounds being paradigms? 

Using a PB 1000 SVS sub as well. Willing to forego the speakers if I can get a better combination. But the AVR and Marantz are not going anywhere. Love the musicality of the Marantz and the HT of the Denon. To me it's the best compromise of both worlds. Just want to know the best plate upgrade and suggestions for LRC speakers. I have hearing problems in the midrange, so an efficient center would be advantages.
