The SME 15 you mentioned is the best performing turntable of the lot. From a value perspective it is the best of all SME tables. The only thing it is missing is a dust cover but so are the others.
Next TT
I am looking at buying a new txt to replace a VPI. The three contenders are
Acoustic Signature Typhoon

Clear Audio Innovation

Brinkmann Balance

I listened to the step up Acoustic Audio and really liked it, as I did the Clear Audio. 2 of my best friends are pushing me to get the Brinkmann Balance or the SME 15. Any feedback on the 3 tables would be greatly appreciated.
