Help me pick a new turntable

I am looking for opinions on the following turntables. If you have comparisons, that would be great, but mostly I would like to hear your experiences with any of the three. I know they are all very different approaches to turntable design. Thanks in advance.

- Technics SL-1000R
- Clearaudio Innovation wood, either a 9 or 12 inch arm
- Acoustic Signature Hurricane Neo with TA-2000 9 inch arm

Nice points @mijostyn . The Stabi M is now around 24k without arm so I'd still be suggesting a Stabi R with 4Point9 and either the minusk or a Vibraplane at around 3k. As I've stated earlier I've listened to a Stabi R and it was a memorable experience. It has become my dream table.

Of the 3 I'd go with the AS Neo. But I've also recently listened to a Kuzma Stabi R that blew me away. That's my next table fir sure.

Also unless you're been setting up tables/arms/cartridges for a while I'd suggest to use a local dealer. I'm outside of Boston and have a great dealer in NH that does full setups.
