SDS or phono stage
Thanks. When I was setting it up, I watched the sds as I turned the motor off and on. When I turned the motor on, the sds voltage jumped to 115 then down to 72, as I gather it should. Do you really switch the sds on and off every time you flip the...

Thanks again. I hooked up my sds and set speed using the kAB. Question: do you leave the sds on all the time and turn the turntable motor on and off, OR do you leave the tt motor on all the time and use the sds to turn it on and off? Thanks again.

Thanks everyone for the useful information. I got a bit of an education there. Mcbuddah, thanks for the tip about the ECPA. I had not previously heard of it.

Turntable upgrade, tweaks, or stay put?
Thanks a lot. So, this begs the question: should I get a phono stage rather than the SDS (MF ViNL costs the same as the SDS), or both? And if both, which first? Thanks again. 
Turntable upgrade, tweaks, or stay put?
Thanks! I do think I have addressed those factors, although I have only a nitty gritty record cleaning machine. Your points are well taken. Please tell me about the ultrasonic cleaner. 
Turntable upgrade, tweaks, or stay put?
I added a stainless steel clamp and replaced the belt. Definitely improved the sound. Now I am waiting for my SDS to arrive. Will keep you posted on the results. Thanks all for your comments. 
Turntable upgrade, tweaks, or stay put?
Ok, so I am thinking of going all in with the scoutmaster. Is the SDS a worthwhile upgrade? Thanks for your opinions!
