The Innovation would be a great choice.

I recently fell down the rabbit hole as well. It's like smoking a great cigar. There are many steps to get to a pleasurable experience, but well worth the effort. I'm now taking trips to the Village discovering the hidden world of LP sourcing. Enjoy Ivan!

I did fall off my chair, I have not been able to respond to this until now, so another home for vinyl storage then!

Kidding aside, that Clearaudio table looks sweet.

Ivan, In a conversation we had two years ago we both talked about the fact that vinyl really had no lure for us. I did it thinking it would be a fad, that the cool factor would wear off. I am more than 8 months in, 400 albums purchased, and will tell you that it is the most enjoyable part of my listening. I get the same emotional attachmnet to the music that I did 30 years ago. I simply enjoy the music again. I hope you have the same experience.

On the Innovation Wood -- is that a Universal tonearm -- suspect it is, maybe a newer version?

"DaVinci" flows nicely with the word "Stradivari", now doesn't it.

I recently looked at the Universal arm and had it in my hands out of a box. It is a massive tonearm and looks very well built.
