Advice on turntables


I have an older well tempered lab turntable with ortofon  cadenza black cart and Evo 400 Prima Luma integrated Tube app with ascend acoustics tower ELX speakers. I’ve become enamored of reading and researching a little with Dr. Feickert turntables particularly blackbird or woodpecker. I’ve not heard these so this is not based on hearing them, but I will probably have to buy a new upgraded turntable without the opportunity of listening because of location and opportunity to get to high-end audio. What thoughts would you guys have regarding this selection or other recommendations you would make? thanks

Thanks for the info. I’m curious what are the advantages or disadvantage of suspended turntable as well as pros and cons of Different platter materials?

in response to secretguy , I have no complaints about the well tempered turntable. It actually sounds very good to my ears, but I wanted to have a more traditional turntable in my set up.

  Oberoniaomnia raises some very important questions, for me to consider. I prefer a more traditional look, but I am not a tinkerer. I don’t consider myself skillful enough and I mainly am just wanting something with that traditional look that I can set up that will not need much adjusting, etc. Don’t think I would need but one tone arm. So maybe I need to give some thought to these provocative questions and rethink what I’m looking for. Thanks
