Streaming can be great (I have 3 streamers including WiiM Ultra), but not everyone likes or is comfortable with streaming...I’m not saying LP is better, but to me doesn’t sound the same as CD or Streaming...I happily use all 3...I would get the cartridge; for the price of the Ultra and Pontus you could get the cartridge and a much better streamer than you currently have...
Streamer vs. Cart upgrade (here we go again…)
I have a Clearaudio Concept TT with a Hana EH cart. I run it through a Mc110z and Mc240 through Klipsch Heresy’s with REL subs. I stream via blue tooth (audio engine B1). I’m soliciting advice on whether I should upgrade to a Hana ML or spend that money on a Wiim Ultra and Denafrips Potus II DAC. I love the sound of my TT, and I definitely hear the difference between my streaming and the turntable but records are expensive- wondering if the corner cutting is worth it. Any thoughts?
