Where to go next with the turntable

The new MoFi MasterDeck turntable here seems to be a sonic bargain, the optional cartridge upgrade seems like a bargain as well.

I've seen the MoFi tables and love the way some of them look. Haven't seen many reviews of them

Is the bass adequate when using a digital source?

The reason I ask is that I had the opportunity to audition a couple of power amps in my main system. One was an older  Lexicon, another was a fairly expensive Chord, and I threw in an older Jeff Rowland I use for video.

Result?  None had the bass richness of my usual power amp, a Conrad Johnson Premier 11a from the 1990s.

Phono cartridges will also offer a range of bass reproduction but I'd suggest that before looking there, you first confirm whether any bass shortcomings might not be due to the amplification train.

The bass is fine with digital. Hegel H390, 250wpc, Magnepan 3.7i and a pair of SVS SB-3000 subs. 
 

I'm pretty sure that was Linn that said not to clean records

@traudio It was Roy Gandy of Rega who said that. It was even printed in the Rega TT manual (don't know if it still is).
