Then you need to move up to the 760 or the AT33PTG/II or Nagaoka MP500. Not sure I want to spend the $$$ on something that will provide a small incremental gain.  
Want to add vinyl to my system.

How long does it take a decent quality speaker to "wear out"?
My 35 year old Spendors and 56 year old Quad ESLs still sound excellent.

Should I buy an SME 30/12A for 15K?
@fjn04 Correct. Unfortunately.  There's a used one on another site but the OP wants new.

@essrand This is playing out as anticipated. You might regroup and start over. Suggest something like an ARC PH6 phono amp and Lyra Delos cartridge to start getting a renewed feel for analog. Then buy some 60s records on Discogs.  
Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube!
Roy, you're starting to sound like a Flat Earther defending the indefensible. All other things being equal, it is possible to hear the difference in say, changing a cartridge or speaker, or tubes in a HD YouTube video. You can hear one being brigh...

Come to think of it, we don't know what cartridge and phono stage you are using.
