Best way to spend my money

I have had the high output Benz cartridges (there are a few, so I don’t know if you mean something humble like the Gold, or a little more fancy, like the Wood H. If it is more like the former, I found getting a low output MC like the Hana S was an enjoyable difference for me. 

Of course, a thousand dollars would buy a lot of records, so there’s that. You have a good system - buy a whole bunch of great records you can love for decades. Best bang for the buck...

I believe IF his detractors took a step back from English as your perhaps first and last language, Pindac adds a lot of introspective value. 

He is asking about isolation foremost. To the OP what does the VPI live on ?
 

I have a 2nd table 5M away from my linestage and until recently into same Goldnote you have except with the remote supply  Cable is XLR made w Neutrik and AQ Coral cable. Some DIT…but under $500… My 40# Denon floats on mag lev footers and sits on a several hundred # cabinet.

So in summary Sort isolation, then XLR…. 

Enjoy the music

My VPI table has under it an oak table as the base. Stands about 3 feet off the floor..on top of it a 4 inch butherblock that has footers under it...on top of it is  2 inch piece of plexiglass again with footers. The table sits on this ...the gold note has its own stand similar sitting to the left side of the table...I don't expect this to sound as good as my digital but if I can improve things the better..

do you have a record cleaning machine?
