Best set-up for up to 9k retail?


What are your thoughts on the best table/arm/cartridge set-up. So far, what I'm leaning towards is an Avid Volvare (4k), Tri-Planar arm(3k) and Lyra Helikon(2k) cartridge. Also, what's a good phonostage match?

I'm considering an upgrade from a Nottingham Interspace table/arm and a Dynavector Karat cartridge. I'm using a Bright Star Audio Rack of Gibralter and a homemade Big Rock.

I'm a big jazz fan but also dip into Steely Dan, King Crimson and Mahavishnu.

I've got a Rogue Magnum Tempest and Von Schweikert DB-100 speakers (obscure, but great).

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Inna, Richard needs advise not debate.

TWL : Thanks for your analog advises to all of us.
Do you still have the EX3 ?
Mejames,my MMF 7 $999 retail is not only better than my Audio Aero Capitole MKII,but MUCH BETTER !! (I have VPI Aries also)

I still own my Capitole right now even though I'm going to sell it soon. I have enough with digital for now.

I know my words above are not a good advise to the buyers of my player. (I should post it later after selling it.. LOL)

I'm sorry to all digital lovers.
