Turntable or go into SACD, Simon Yorke vs EMM Lab

I need some help here with a decision. I am deciding with futher upgrading my turntable or waiting longer & getting a SACD player (probably EMM unless anyone heard something better or close).
I currently have a Nottingham Hyperspace, wave mechanic,, and a SME V w. Koetsu Urushi. My other front end is the Audio Aero Cap. II. I am able to get a great deal on a Simon Yorke with all the extras. I can't figure out if I should upgrade or wait & eventually go SACD. I currently own only about 200 great records and about 800 OK ones. So whatever I buy will probably be available in one format or the other since I find CD OK but not great. Anythought or opinions is appreciated.

Wait on the SACD. The 'BluRay" stuff is around the corner and who know whom, or what will happen with all that.
I bought a Sony SCD777Es for the Redbook CD play.. just as a 'last CD player I will ever buy' strategy.
Now, I see the mess coming with all the new tech blue laser, bluray, etc as heralding a new shakeout of formats.
Hopefully the morons at Sony et al can get their stuff together and have one great format come out, rather than 2 or 3 competing ones that no one will buy.
Right now is a BIG resurgence in vinyl playback, so selling your current anlog rig would be easy. Go for the analog upgrade at this time.

Hi Elizabeth,

Where can I find out about this BluRay? I have no idea what it is. Sounds interesting.
