???Compare-Contrast or Comment???Harbeth-ProAc or Reference 3a???
If you get ProAc speakers I recommend the ribbon tweeter. I think it sounds better than the soft dome.  
Kirmuss 'In the Groove' Ultrasonic Record Restorer - Upscale Audio Edition
I'd buy a degritter. Very reliable I currently own an Audiodeske Glass which works great, but has had some reliability issues. I also have a VPI 16.5 for heavier duty initial cleaning if necessary for used records. I had a Kirmuss briefly. Foll... 
Saved systems can't be found, where are they? Oh

Experiences With The Ikeda Arms?
@rauliruegas  Thanks for the compliment Raul. I also have a Luxman CL-35III which has the original plug in transformers. They may be the same as the SUT in the C-5000A. I do have some SS amplification with a Nagra Classic amp. I usually use that... 
Experiences With The Ikeda Arms?
I have the 12 inch version of that tonearm. Very well made and better sounding than the Ortofon RS-309 D that it replaced. VTA adjustment is very easy with the VTA-06 VTA base. I have mostly moving coil cartridges that like a high mas arm. Mr. Ik...
