J.A. Mitchell TecnoDec vs. Clearaudio Emotion CMB

I plan to upgrade my existing turntable in the next year or two. I prefer a natural, organic presentation that is highly musical - I listen primarily to blues, folk, indie, and rock (lots of acoustic stuff).

I'm considering the following two options:
1) Clearaudio Emotion CMB w/ Satisfy Tonearm (perhaps w/ upgraded feet)
2) J.A. Michell TecnoDec w/ RB250 Special

I will pair the TT with the following:
- Naim Nait 5i-2
- Naim CD5i-2
- Pro-Ject Tube Box II
- Harbeth P3ESR

So, based on my requirements, which TT would you recommend and why? Thanks!

I would think a Phono Cartridge choice will be as important as a TT . I would guess a " Top of the Line " Moving Magnet [ Clearaudio , Grado , Soundsmith [ MI ] etc. ] will be in order . Although I prefer Low Output MC Cartridges , they may cost half as much again [ and more ] as your TT of choice .

Think of your TT and Cartridge as a whole component to insure synergy .
