Looking to upgrade from a Clearaudio Ambient (garrard 301 vs technics sp10?)


Hello!

I have been using audiogon for guidance since I started the hobby 5 years ago and you haven't steered  me wrong yet. 

I have the upgrade itch and need your help though. 

I currently have a clearaudio ambient with a morch dp6 + ART-9 ---> doshi alaap ---> Audiog horizons pre ---> plinius SA-100 ---> Kef reference 1's. 

I do love the set-up but feel the table might be a little too clinical sounding. Any suggestions on upgrades in the 5-6K range?. Used is good for me!

Thanks in advance!

I think 5 million dollars is a bit too much, but the Bauer appears to be a plain looking yet original design.  If you are getting the Ayre power supply with the Bauer, then this sounds like a good deal at $5K.  This is coming from a direct-drive aficionado.  Seems like an Avid Acutus would be similar in concept and cost, for a comparison.
