I`d like to thank everyone for there input and advise as I stated in my opening statement right on target. Yes (Spencer) I`ll also be calling Donna.  (mijostyn) I only wish I had 10k to spend on a new Nova VI not there yet when I talk to Donna I will ask if there`s a rebuilt Nova avail. if not a new SapphireV will fit my budget $2,900 However, I will look into the Schroder CB.  (Big_ greg) your in my head😄. its good to hear everyone agrees on dismissing the Rega300.  (jasonbourn52) my plan as been to purchase the SoundSmith Carmen2 MC cart. before purchasing the T/T I`ll also research the Hana EL. (Spencer aka sbank) your right on point advise well taken. (lewm9) something to think about.  (jperry) that is my plan until I get my SoundSmith Carmen2 MC cart. then upgrade to one of the two arms (mijostyn) suggest or the Hanna EL  (jasonbourn52) suggested. Once again I thank you all. "HAPPY HOLIDAYS"!!
