EL34 in triode vs 300B/845 SET
one more thing to consider is tube replacement cost 300b's are rather expensive compared to most other tube types. descent ones are $150 each and up lets not even talk about NOS 300b's  
Tonearm comparison, Rega vs Zeta, anyone?
if you still have the acrylic arm board go buy an aluminum one from oracle they are a huge step up and look way better too. and reasonably priced, get a service kit while your at it if it has not been done already.

I went through the whole Garrard 301 Build last year and have not regretted it at all. I went from a oracle Delphi mk 4 and the Garrard has much more PRAT and musicality. worth every penny. I did the 301 with a custom bamboo plinth and Jelco 750l ...

Blown speaker or crossover opinion

Wet Cleaning records makes things worse?
sounds like your not doing a good deep clean of the groves. If the record has not been played it can look new but there will be a build up of gunk, mold, etc in the grove that's what your seeing when you play it, its the stylus cleaning the grove ...
