Hey another thing worth considering is to see if your existing tonearm cable is capable of passing any more information. Moving magnet, moving iron , moving coil, all have different requirements ie capacitance, resistance, loading issues into the various preamp or step up device used. You may have already done this but it never hurts to verify your existing cart / cable specs capacitance, resitance, loading etc. and then find the optimal range - receipe for your input device of choice. Possible changes or upgrade required for the phono cable and/or tonearm cable or maybe a separate phono stage should be considered for synergy / functionality before giving up on making what you already have more satisfying. "Check the foundation before the remodel, know your weaknesses and then built on a good base" I have learned from experience, now if I could only take my own advice....One of the old school "system matching" techniques was to get something hot to balance something cold or cool as opposed to trying to keep everything link in the chain neutral and "tone free". Have fun discovering which way you want to go... If your arm can handle it, maybe a London Decca Super Gold Cartridge...+7mv... I am thinking about one also....
