Avid Volvare - SME IV arm or Tri-planar VII ???

I am seriously considering an Avid Volvare table and was led in the direction of an SME IV arm. I have read that the Tri-Planar VII is also a very good choice.

Any experience with either arm and this table? Any suggestions???

I am also looking at the VPI Super Scoutmaster with JMW-9 signature arm and the Clearaudio Ambient turntable with Satisfy arm. Should I stick with the Avid or look into one of the others more seriously?

Thanks to everyone who posted here. I'm looking at the same 3 tables and have learned a ton from this thread.

Two questions:

1) Khrys alluded to differences in sound between spurng and non-sprung tables, and I'm wondering if he (or anyone else) can elaborate on this? I've been listening to vinyl for a while, but I'm fairly new to serious turntables, so wondering if there's a design concept in play with either format that has a certain type of sonic signature?

2) So no one has heard the Clearaudio Ambient table with Satisfy arm? Anyone...Bueller?

Thanks,

Matt
