No more than I've said above.... it must be musical and non fatiguing, everything we expect from vinyl.
Couple of candidates here Ivor... The Versalex in walnut would sit nicely with your Dubhs.

Ortofon Rondo Bronze.... in New condition...... even if she has been on the shelf for a wee while!!! Picked it up on eBay for a really good price recently and it was packaged well, delivered super fast with DHL tracking etc.

And before you ask.... what does she sound like.... it has not been mounted on the tonearm yet. Still enjoying my beautiful Rondo Blue at the moment.

Why did I go for a Rondo instead of a Quintet... well I have a kind of hankering for the Rondo Series, some time ago I picked up a second hand Rondo Blue for a steal.... she sounded great... and I find the stylus guard very useful, makes setting up a cart a good bit safer!!!
