Biggest bang for buck is SDS controller. I would get the new Gingko-style feet - not the air bladders - offered by VPI. The stainless clamp is also nice as well.
For cartridge/phono stages, you could buy all the greatest equipment now and still be disappointed because of improper matching/setup. I would suggest you walk before you run then upgrade later on.
