Best way to spend my money


A digital guy asking the analog group basically so bare with me please...right now i have a VPI scout 2 with a high output Benz mc cartridge....going into a Gold note ph10...a 15 foot run of rca cable into a Pass labs int60...my table is set along a sidewall be cause of no room for the table around the rack.....So my questions is this...I have a grand to spend..should I buy a power supply for my phono amp...should I get a better  low output mc cartridge.. or should I buy xlr cables to run from phono to the integrated...I hear a promise of better things to come and I have no expectations to better my digital setup...thanks

You have a pretty good set up already.  For my money I’d invest in a decent set of balanced cables.  That long of a run in RCA cables is asking for trouble with noise. Especially coming out of a phono preamp.  All my source equipment is 20 feet away from my tube power amps.  I use XLR for the long run from my preamp.  I have zero noise using those cables.
