What should I add next?

I finally got my techniques 1210 up and running and I must say I am very happy with the sound quality. I was just wondering if it makes more sense to invest in some of the Kab Mods(fluid damper/Tone arm rewire), or invest in a better preamp(I currently own the low end MM cambridge which does not sound any better than plugging my player directly into my receiver--13 year old Kenwood), cartridge(low end Grado currently), or speakers(looking to spend around 500$ for a pair). I also have the Sumiko headshell, but have not gotten around to using it,and an Isoplatmat. Any suggestions would be great--Cheers

Dear Jmoog08: IMHO and if I was you my first step should be a new Phonolinepreamp ( paramount importance and a huge improvement ), second step goes through a new speakers ( very important audio link too. ) and third step ( and not the last, I mean you need other additonal steps. ) forget about your 1200 TT and buy/try to find a Technics SP-10 MK2 that you can get second hand at very low price, this SP-10MK2 not only beats extremely easy the 1200 ( with all and any up grades. Don't waist your money and time there. Put your money where it counts more. ) but competes with many of the very top ( very expensive ones ) TTs out there.

Regards and enjoy the music.
