Shoegazer, I would upgrade the arm first to an RB600 or RB900. Then either the platter upgrade and next a cart. upgrade. I have an OrbeSE and my latest cart. and phonostage upgrades were the biggest improvements I have heard in a long time. The PH5 totally transformed my Orbe. I was seriously thinking my TT was a limiting factor but it was my phonostage (and I tried a few). I also dumped my use of a clamp. In my system it really degraded the sound. I'm still amazed by how much.
