If I were to replace my VPI Airies1 with a 4k or so budget?

Hello,
I am thinking of changing my turntable not because I have an issue with the performance but becuase of the size- the Aires with the flywheel takes A LOT of real estate and I am trying to shrink my system a bit.  I currently have separates woth preamp (Primaluna Dialogue Premium) and mono's (Pass 60.5's) driving Thiel 3.7's- along with a smaller turntable I am also thinking about a high quality integrated with built in phono.

Anyway, I heard a lot of very good things about Eat C sharp and also the new Triangleart Hathor.  Just wondering if you might have any views on these 2 options - or any other for that matter.  Cartridge will be a Lyra Delos- just waiting for it to ship.

Many thx.

I can't help you with your question but I can suggest you wait to hear the Delos on the Aries. I have an Aries 1 with a Lyra Kleos and it sounds amazing.

You may decide the extra real estate is worth it, especially if you ditch the flywheel and just use the motor. The motor nearly fits inside the profile of the Aries.
