Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least...
Yes, sir the BAT CD VKD5 I think is one I heard , VERY nice, but I love the wadia on redbook too... both great players, and I am glad people that are truly into the music found the path... SACD is nice but put the money where it really shakes thin... 
Cartridge choice? Shure M97Xe, Ortofon 20, Empire
Okay guys I went with the Empire, it looks like a killer cartridge for the money, better output and the sound should be very nice an in-between the shure and ortofon if that sounds somewhat accurate... Plus the shure or ortofon can be purchased an... 
Cartridge choice? Shure M97Xe, Ortofon 20, Empire

I am searching and the Scoutmaster was just an example I threw out there, but I think a little to far up the Foodchain for my "Seriousness" level of the Vinyl playback, even though I have the money, I need good and solid, but maybe not so pricey.....

Well if a table is the most effective than it is Rushton, I respect that, but would LIKE to not drop 2-3000.00 on upgrading the whole thing, but maybe in the end the only real way to step up a level as you stated. How much should the EF-1 Johnson ...
