Turntable Quandry


I am currently using a great condition Technics SL-1410mk2 as my turntable with an ortofon black cart. The other components are Luxman L507-z integrated amp and Manley Chinook SE  phono stage. I also use a D07-x sacd/dac and Hifi Rose RS130 streamer. Im trying to match the level of gear with a new turntable. I listen to 30% vinyl. Or should I just keep the Technics and upgrade cabling etc.

Thanks!

Agree that cart and/or turntable would yield sonic benefits.

However, if the OP is still running stock cabling, this is highly likely a sonic bottleneck relative to the level of their audio components.  

"Seems like a Technics 1300G and a good MC cart we are pushing 5k for sure"

Yes exactly!  That is right in line and appropriate for your system.

After upgrading table+cart, you'll have a very high level system.  Hope you have quality cabling to match
