Again, I appreciate all these points of view. Like a beach ball different points of view show differing colors. @elliottbnewcombjr You make several good points. Yes, Mono and yes a cart that I don’t have to worry about on more worn records that I... 
Phone pre advice - Would I benefit from this upgrade?
@jwaller50 I've had great sonic success with the DL-160 it's older sibling. I am told they are very similar.

@alan60 The VIV Labs tonearm is one crazy arm. I am very intrigued!! It also solves the 2 arm problem as it doesn't need to be on the plinth. Good news is we have a lot of great choices right now. @elliottbnewcombjr Congratulations on that find. ...

Thanks again, this is all amazing feedback. I know that the arm is even more critical than the table...and the cart even more critical. My original thought for the first arm was the 4Point 9, but now I think I have more research to do. My plan wa...

Thank you everyone!   @elliottbnewcombjr I too love the Luxman and Thorens tables. I looked long and hard at those. Most of my equipment in the past has been from the 70's including Nakamichi, Klipsch, Thorens, and AR. I think I need to move int...

Survey on Cost of Loudspeakers Supported On Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums
Don't sweat the cost of the speakers. Mine were virtually free. The previous owner wanted to give them a good home. I have built my system around these speakers to see how much I could get out of them (Belle Klipsch 1978ish). The Townsend "bars" ... 
McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer
I love my MA8900. Outperforms the Vintage Nakamichi I had before. Not saying much, but if you don't believe me, listen to my Belle Klipsch. They love it too.  
How much of High End Audio is Horn Speakers?
I love my Belle Klipsch enough that I am building my system around them. So far no regrets. Upgrades, isolation, clean power. What they give in return is depth, detail and an “I’m at the show” feel.

Observation: Passion vs Obsession
My point if there was one, was an observation that seems true. May or may not be for you. The truth is that whatever you are involved in you should enjoy the journey. SG by Soundsmith is still a dream for me, but I enjoy the Zephyr MIMC Star until... 
Observation: Passion vs Obsession
@boxer12       Exactly.  @noske No measurement or proof necessary. Just feel it...your neurons do.
