Get the amp and upgrade the speakers.  
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Sara Watkins – Under The Pepper Tree (New West 2021) This is a gem. Lullabies and kid’s songs. Excellent recording and silent vinyl. Recommended. EDIT: no sooner than I posted this, some vinyl whosh noise appeared on last two tracks!  
New Pioneer PLX-1000 Turntable - Need recommendation for MM Cartridge and Mat
12g is fine. I have them and use one with a VM750SH.  
Don’t want to freak you out…
Possibly but passiveness may preclude passion. I wonder if Vulcans’ protuberances permit the perception of pianissimos with full emotive content ?  
External phono stage for Luxman 509x
I heard the Luxman for a number of hours and it was very good. I’d have to add a $2k+ tube phono stage with NOS Telefunkens to beat it. It’s very detailed and nuanced if only a tiny bit dry and less dimensional than glass amps. Enjoy it.  
turntable for daughter
As long as she's okay with a unipivot. I think you should go with a PLX1000 and AT740ML but can see the appeal of the MH.

And more or less neural connections.  Maybe some of us have silver ears, others platinum ears, others golden ears, etc.!

Has she any software? Is she serious about this or is it a novelty? If serious and with a collection, I'd plan with an upgrade path in mind and start with something solid. e.g. no built-in phono, good cables.  
The hunt is over
Yes. Feel no need to change anything. Although, I have some tubes in transit to try out.

Thanks Tammy. Should we report duplicates?

Kidding aside, I imagine ebony or cherry would sound better than foam. Too much damping with the squishy stuff.

When we used get into bar fights we always kept clear of the guys with cauliflower ears and flat noses.
