Next TT

I am looking at buying a new txt to replace a VPI. The three contenders are
Acoustic Signature Typhoon

Clear Audio Innovation
http://clearaudio.de/en/products/turntables-innovation.php
Brinkmann Balance
https://www.brinkmann-audio.de/main.php?prod=balance&lang=en

I listened to the step up Acoustic Audio and really liked it, as I did the Clear Audio. 2 of my best friends are pushing me to get the Brinkmann Balance or the SME 15. Any feedback on the 3 tables would be greatly appreciated.

It gives you the possibility to add more tonearm if you want to go mono. Also you can upgrade later to battery PSU, 3 motors in a round shape, and ultra heavy platter with special bearings. All these upgrades are worthy and you can do it in years.

From a value perspective it is the best of all SME tables. The only thing it is missing is a dust cover but so are the others.
