Turntable comments and recommendations, please

After several years as a reader of these threads, I thought I might avail myself of the experience and knowledge out there. I've decided to upgrade my analog front end - specifically the turntable,arm and cartridge. Currently I'm using a VPI mkIII with RB300 and Transfiguration Spirit. I've read a number of threads and reviews to tried to narrow the choices down. I'm thinking about a Teres 265 (very expensive), a used Sota Cosmos MKII (upgraded vacuum), or a used Acoustic Signature Analog One. I have no experience with any of these on a first hand basis. So I'm wondering if other Goner's might offer their opinions and appraisals, particularly if they have comparative experience with two or more of these. The later two are appealing on a price basis as the the Teres represents a significant budget stretch. Also Arm recommendations and experiences with these would also be much appreciated as well.

I prefer a warm presentation, and prefer classical and jazz recordings.
Thanks

Don't waste your money on things other than what Buscis2 has mentioned. I started with a Mark II in 1987, and it has been completely upgraded through the years to having all TNT parts and a SAMA. It is, in fact, excellent soundwise. The SAMA made the biggest difference. I can't say anything about your arm, as I use a Morch DP-6 Precision.
