Your tables and cartridges are good solid entry level products, that is not to say there are the equivalent of a 50 grand analog rig but they are quite capable of reproducing quality sound. I have been setting up TT's for over 4 decades and worked on tables from 100 dollars to 100 grand and I can assure you, you can have good sound on a budgetĀ provided everything is set upĀ correctly. In your case I would suggest 2 thingsĀ
(1) Get a record cleaner if you don't already have one.
(2) I always suggest to clients if they can afford it, to purchase a phono preamp that has adjustments for capacitance loading, resistance loading and gain level.
I have found throughout the years some clients have preferred a different loading option than what specified by the manufacture, an adjustable phono preamp makes that option available to the user.Ā
