Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
3 car, 2 person family with 2002 BMW M5 dinan Stage 3 and two 2004 Infiniti G-35's. One is a coupe and the other a 4-door sedan. Nothing compares to the Dinan M5. Trouble is I can afford doing a new Dinan M5 now that I'm retired.

Getting back to the original question posed, why don't you try the new Basis Inspiration TT? It's their finest TT and it looks like a spectacular TT. Basis products have a great reputation for wonderful music reproduction.On the other hand, have y... 
Basis vs.VPI
I own a Basis 2500 Signature with a Graham Phantom arm and love that combination. If you can't do a home demo or listen to other peoples systems, then your are stuck to opinions here or reading magazine reviews. Reviewers have given the 2200, 2500...
