New TT, Arm and MC Cartridge

Today is my birthday. I am seventy-two today. I have been lower than the mud under a snake's belly since my wife of fifty-one years and committed lover of fifty-four years passed away last month. I am going to buy myself a present.
That present is going to be a new turntable, tonearm and MC cartridge. I probably won't buy it for another week or two. What I presently have in mind is a Clearaudio Performance DC table or perhaps the Performance DC Wood table, the Satisfy carbon or perhaps the Tracer tone arm and a Clearaudio Talisman V2 Gold MC cartridge. Part of the reason for this choice is I have had good history with the dealer who sells them.
I would love to hear from any respondents who think this is a good choice or a bad choice.

Lost my wife three years ago Nov 1st, 4:32pm.  Among other things, I too used these last three years to expand my audio enjoyment.  It is amazing what saving $50K in health care costs can do for someone.  

Coincidently, I am also in the market for a new turntable.  Auditioned a Bergmann Galder last week.  After the 2nd track I was astonished at how well the turntable just got out of the way and let the music win the sonic battles.  Loved it.
