Clearaudio TTs good or bad

Looking to by a new table the champion level 2 with sme arm is at the top & looking at the vpi aries with 10" to. The level 2 looks real cooool. The cart is a Benz Micro Glider. Any thoughts would be appreciated. THANKS... P S.The old TT is a denon 1250 with a greys707.

Hi Bj. The Glider sounded good on a solution/morch arm. The champion sounded good with a clearaudio victory/morch arm & a BPS, same arm. Sound: clear, fast, not necessarily lean; information retrieval is superior to "plusher" TTs (/older designs). IMO, Clearaudios need a good RIAA to sound correct, otherwise upper or lower register may be pronounced.

Which SME arm? Crc: what's the mod on the 250?? The champion is rigid & fast -- I assume the 250 will keep up?

Cheers!

Bj: SME sounds good, I heard a V on a bigger C/audio deck. RB's are limited by the vta question -- but why a 600 instead of starting w/a 250, and upgrading later, to another brand if you wish. Just a thought...

Cheers!
