Upgrading Planar 2

After getting an amp with a phono stage again (Musical Fidelity M3), I am rediscovering vinyl with my old Planar 2 that has been in storage for years. The TT has a Linn Basik LV V arm and a Grado JG cartridge. I would like to gradually upgrade if possible. What I was thinking is first upgrade the cartridge to the Clearaudio virtuoso wood, then upgrading the arm to a modified RB250 and then finally upgrading the TT to a 100 series Teres. Is this a logical approach? Other suggestions? Thanks.

Mike,
I would suggest the following path: cart, table, arm. I would also suggest starting off with a more modest cart (like a rega elys or super elys or shure v15vxMR) until you've got your new arm and table in place (then spring for the big bux cart). What kind of phono stage are you using now? That plays a significant role as well. Enjoy your table!
