Hi

I had a similar problem with my set up. I was using a Denon 103. They’re are a bit fussy with tonearms and sound best with a heavier mass tonearm. 

I tried an Ortofon Cadenza which smoothed things up whilst offering greater resolution too. 

I am also on the SNA forum. I have the Cadenza Red listed on eBay and SNA as I am hoping to upgrade to the Bronze or Windfeld Ti. 

I also live in OZ.
