Try the Grado anyway.I have been told that the hum problem only happens on 25% of the tables.I am not usr where but you could get a sheet of mu-metal and cut a smaller circle of the stuff for when arm comes near center/motor.I have a Sonata and love it (Have used it on a Planar 3 andnow a VPI Aries).Call Grado and ask how to navigate hum IF you have problem.If not the $350 Clearaudio get's Stereophiles nod.Dynavector has a good line.Used Benz Micro if you want to reach beyond you price point and go used.One thing the Elys has going for it is it has synergy with the Rega table and is very rigid which can be the one word used to describe why your tabel and arm is the winner it is.I think the Elys has the edge in value per $ over the super and I probably would go for something else myself.Really liked the switch from Elys to Sonata on my P3.Call Bes Nivera at Music Direct(1-800-448-8333.He has the goods and the knowledge.Tell 'em Chazz sent 'ya.
