Wonderful combination from all standpoints. SMEs are great just overpriced.
Turntables do not have PRAT. Musicians have PRAT. HiFi gear has dynamics except for turntables. The ultimate turntable spins at a perfect 33.33 RPM silently, under any reasonable circumstance and is oblivious to the environment. Nothing more. Dynamic aggressiveness has to do with speakers, amplifiers and to a smaller extent program sources. The program source here is not the turntable, it is the cartridge and tonearm. They are responsible for the sound extracted from the record. Turntables are not supposed to make any sound.
The only downside is lack of a hinged dust cover. You can however have one made or if you are clever, make one yourself. You get a base to put under the turntable and hinge the dust cover to the base. Because the SME is isolated by it's suspension vibration in the dust cover can not be passed on to it and because the dustcover attenuates the sound that gets to the turntable the system's sound is actually better with the dust cover down not to mention keeping the table and record clean. Here is something to think about. Sound can not travel through a vacuum. Why not pull a vacuum under the dust cover? That would diminish sound getting to the turntable ever further!
