Next step in Turntable

Gents;

I am currently enjoying my re-start of analog and LP’s 

Pro-Ject Classic 
Hana SL
Musical Surroundings Phenomona II+
Anyway, I’m finding That I really enjoy the LP life 
I’ve found a system that is quiet, dynamic and detailed with no real drawbacks 

so, As usual 

If I wanted to take the next step,  in Analog playback , at what level and price should I be looking at

I hear their name a lot,  They are in Delavan wi , about 30 miles from me , Milwaukee 

Do they suggest a tonearm? And accessories Or Is that left to us ? 
If, So , I guess a road trip is in order

Yes, that SOTA still around and kicking since the 80’s. Donna runs it now and carries many arms and can get many others. She carries Origin and that is a fine arm that provides superb value. That close to home you should reach out !

A SOTA with Origin Live Conqueror (or thereabouts) https://www.originlive.com/hi-fi/tonearm/#premiumrange will certainly deliver otherworldly level performance. Then later on when you are ready for a new cart, Soundsmith SG1 and you are set.

It was a joke, because you asked Mijostyn about turntable, for him it’s SOTA and almost any audiogonner aware of it :))

Actually you could try if they are near.

I prefer direct drive turntables, the ultimate today is SP-10R drive from Technics, Japan. Tonearm and custom plinth of your choice. Probably it’s over your budget.
