I have Statement upgraded to MkII and optional Amtrans rotary selector. I don't know if you have MkII upgrade but the better quality volume transformers, NIchicon FG and muse caps add a bit more musical tone, Amtrans gives more precise imaging, sound staging. I also diy change to Takman carbon film resistors and Audio Note Seiryu capacitors in signal path recently, another slight uptick in more natural timbre. Finally, try the Linlai Elite solid plate 101, while I like the WE101, the Elite has a bit more natural timbre, resolving powers and transparency. I too had a WE go bad some months ago, same issue, this condition caused by leak, vacuum lost. In may case I felt slight movement where base meets glass, leak from here?
So, at this point, already excellent piece only made better. If it were me, I'd get the Coincident phono stage, but I hear you on the expenditure for that amount of listening. Actually, I'm in exact same boat as you, perhaps 10% phono, rest streaming. I too am looking to upgrade my phono setup, including cartridge and perhaps phono stage after. I'm using Modwright SWP 9.0SE at present, planning on modding with VH Audio ODAM capacitors. Whether this will be sufficient or not? Assuming it wasn't I'd seriously consider the Coincident phono, I'd think this would be best match since I do like Coincident house sound (also have Coincident 845SET). All the other phono stages I'd consider upgrade to Modwright will be similar price range to Coincident.
