Hi Clay-
  Just thought I'd throw this in.  I saw a the Debut III recently, and was thrown off by the slightly undersized 11-inch thin metal platter.  My preference is for a platter to support the whole record.  It has a very decent tonarm, though.  Probably a fine value.  Avaliable in lots of colors!

I could use a new TT. Did you mean the Pro-Ject Debut III? Looks like it comes with an Ortofon OM5e.

The Onkyo lasted about 25 years and was replaced a few years ago by an Onkyo TX-8511. I don't think it's DC-coupled though. The JBL's are still going strong. Both are what my M400 goes through.
