Where's the next weak link in my analog chain?


Currently using the following: 

Mofi Ultradeck w/ MasterTracker cart
- Powered by AQ Thunder power cable 

Sutherland 20/20 mk1 with LPS (stock power cable) 
- Zu Mission mk1 phono from TT to pre, Zu Mission mk1 from pre to amp 

I don't have much left that I think I could do on this end before upgrading the table entirely. I'm curious where you would spend your next dollar? 

MC Cart
Phono cable
Interconnect 
Power cable to phono 

Beyond that I think this set up will be pretty well maxed out and it would be time for a new TT to start squeezing out more.

I would want a tonearm with removable headshell, to pre-mount a few cartridges, including Mono. Arm height adjustment is important.

Or, if you find yourself with a lot of Jazz, probably a good bit of Mono LPs, two arms, one with removable headshell and easy arm height change.

Luxman PD444 is a terrific TT, track and sliding plates for 2 tonearms

This shows the Luxman PD444 well

I helped my friend put two Micro Seiki 505 arms on his

same design, single arm version PD-441

I have this, totally awesome arm, members here told me about it, then found one for sale for me

Acos Lustre GST-801

Mounted in the back of my JVC PL-2 two arm plinth (I squeezed a small Mission arm on the left for Mono ready to go)

 

clarify what is included and what is optional, this SP15 Spinner has specs that rival todays technics models, the base accepts a few different arm wands, one is S arm with removable headshell

Technics SP15 System

see current, SP-15 and SP-25 specs in this database

I helped my friend install the B500 Base on the SP15 I gave him years ago, it is a wonderful way to have a compact system with flexibility.
