+1 for The QL-Y5F  , I had one , of the at least 50 TT's I've had in last 50 years  it  was one of the best ,The Grado is a good choice for acoustic music , a better choice for all kinds of music is a Nagoka MP-110 or 150 .

Question for tube aficionados
For Classical music I use 5814 and 5751 for 12Ax7 subs .IMO opinion RCA cleartops are too bright on strings , maybe OKin warm pre  but 5814 are always more musical to my hears .
