"I was strongly considering selling the 20/20 to get a Chinook SE while they are on clearance."
Your table/SS phonostage is solid.
A tube phonostage could be a more profound change than what been suggested.
Naturally, YMMV.
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.
