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

Also wanting that cart! On the fence about it, or getting a phono preamp. 

Cables are a tweak, not so much an upgrade. IMHO, lots of cost for minimum  return. Cart upgrade are usually much bigger steps. 

On the flip side, the more you spend on a cart, the most the needle replacement will cost! Got a new cart 6mo ago, a couple weeks into having it, was cleaning my TT, when finished caught the needle with the MF towel. Pulled the needle out!! Cost $500 to replace the needle. That really hurt! That's my dilemma with a $1k cart is the almost yearly needle replacement cost. 

@displayname yeah, usually listen to 4-6 records a day. My system gets turned on when I wake up, stay on for most of the day.  I work from home, most of the time work from my. listing spot.

Spinning records and making dinner has become a problem. Try to stream now when cooking. 

@kennyc thanks, didn't know anything about them. Sadly they do not have a dealer in WA state. Looks like a good cart for the money. Like the idea of much cheaper needle replacements.
