I currently have an SME 20/2 with Series V arm and have been very pleased with it's performance but find myself intrigued by the speed stability, energy and overall presentation of the latest direct drives.

I may just leave well enough alone but I'm considering an upgrade to one of the new Technics tables. I auditioned the SL1000R with a number of familiar albums and came away very impressed with the SL1000R and despite some initial skepticism, the magnesium Technics arm.

My dilemma is whether to go with the complete table or the SP10R in an OMA or Artisan Fidelity plinth with my Series V arm or perhaps a Kuzma 4 point if I sell my current set up.

The SL1000R plinth is very well made, reasonably compact with excellent damping characteristics and has the ability to add additional arms down the road should I ever recover financially from the initial purchase. I'm curious to hear what others think?
