Who will survive? One last table til I die.

I want to buy a final turntable (call it 25 years worth of use until I can't hear or don't care). I want to be able to get parts and have it repaired for the next quarter century. I would also like the sound quality to be near the top or upgradable to near the top for that time period. I don't necessarily require that the manufacturer be solvent that long (the preferable situation), but otherwise the parts would have to be readily available and the design such that competent independent repair shops be able to fix it. I won't spend more than $10,000 and prefer (but don't require) an easy set up that doesn't need constant tweaking. I'm willing to pay for the proper stand and isolation needed over and above the initial cost.

I've got 9,000 LPs, and it doesn't make sense to start over replacing them with CD/SACDs (although I have decent digital equipment) even if I could find and afford replacements. Presently I have a CAT SL-1 III preamp and JL-2 amp, Wilson speakers, Sota Cosmos table, SME IV arm, and Koetsu/Lyra Clavis/AQ7000nsx cartridges.

Thanks in advance for your input. Steve

Raul,
Would you please explain to the group your ability to slip in and out of proper syntax and grammar in your posts?

If you have the ability to put your thoughts out there in a cogent fashion, please do so with every post.

I don't pretend to speak for everyone here, but in my case, I find your pendantic comments to be idiotic when you post as though you were typing in English for the first time in your life.

Further, you take the position of instructor in every thread you invade. Get over yourself, you might actually learn something for the people you delight in talking down to.

I will end my post with a twist on your tag line:
"Shut up and enjoy the music"
