Sounds like I should start with the cart and maybe wait a bit to buy an ‘investment’ phono stage. Re: springs, the TT is in almost perfect shape and is obviously a masterfully engineered machine. I personally wouldn’t try change anything about how...

Definitely not attached to the Ortofon (or any other part of the system). Some people seem to like Goldring and Denon carts for this type of music, though on paper they look very different.

I would never give up my digital sources, but it only takes a couple recordings to justify the expense in my mind. I play piano and an unknown (to me) Rubinstein or Horowitz recording is a treasure.
