a conundrum

I happen to admire Basis turntables, the human-sized ones. But I hate acrylic, especially acrylic platters. Also, even with two large systems in two different rooms, I have no space available for a 400-lb monster like that. On the other hand, I am not a fan of WT stuff, to put it mildly. However, the DV500 at least does away with the WT product I most dislike, the tonearm (all versions). What appears to be the DV507 tonearm on the DV500 is probably about as good as the top of the line Basis tonearm on the Basis tt; some might prefer one over the other, but it's mostly a matter of taste and cartridge choice. (I own a DV505 and a DV501, but my high regard for the Vector tonearm is based only on photos and verbal descriptions.) So,.... I don't want anything this week. Thanks.
