Turntable Decision


So, I want to try a spring isolated turntable. Considering a SOTA Sapphire, Michell Gyro SE or Orbe, or used Linn Sondek LP12 (90's edition). Will be in one of two systems: Herron phono pre-Conrad Johnson pre- Pass amp - B&W speakers; or Parasound Halo JC3+ phono pre, Raven Osprey integrated, Harbeth speakers.

Thoughts based on real life experience?

Thanks.

Have you concidered a Merrill Heirloom with the outer ring clamp
or an AR table ?
Vinyl Nirvana has an upgraded Heirloom for sale , 
there is also an AR that's been upgraded using Merril componets on E-Bay with an extremely  low bid !

I own a Merrill Heirloom that I upgraded the springs and motor , a RB300 arm upgraded with Incognito wiring and Expressimo weight ,
my plan is to replace the arm with an Audiomods ( someday ) .
If I were to replace the table then I'd go with a Sota with the vacuum hold down ( easier to use than the ring clamp ) .
