Anyone tired a Nordost QB4 MK III?
Thanks for the info.  Can you recommend a good power conditioner that’s not thousands of dollars?

There are very good MM cartridges out there if you don’t really want to mess around with a SUT.  Ortofon or Nagaoka are good ones.

My analog journey - time for a new phono stage or?
Get a used ARC, or new, if you have the wherewithal.  Will take any cartridge and sounds fantastic.  Mine is a Reference 2 SE and I wouldn’t be without it.  Have it paired with a Lyra Delos.      
New Cartridge
Still not small change, but total cost was $1650.  I did read a recommendation on the R100.  But it is apparently discontinued.  And the 100 Ultimate is its replacement.  And thanks all for the comments, especially bringing that review to my atten...
