Turntable and pre-amp advice sought
You might also add the new Schiit Sol turntable at $799 or $928 inc. Mani phono amp to your options. Order direct with 15 day return. 11" arm included. All aluminium and made in USA. No cheapo MDF or acrylic. I heard the prototype at AXPONA. 
Phono stage for my system?
Or buy a Schiit Mani for $149 and an Ortofon 2M Red for $99 for a shorter-term big upgrade. 
Ears hurt when listening after changing speakers
@asvjerry No kidding. The worst thing an audience member can do for me is that dang whistle. As well as being deafening, there are catelogs of ruined live recordings sometimes all due to one guy who won't shut up. 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
@slaw No problem. Hopefully all is good. Wishing you the best. It's not easy getting older.----------------------------Jefferson Airplane - Flight Log (Grunt 1977)Jorma Kaukonen With Tom Hobson ‎- Quah (Grunt 1974)

Most likely there is none available to protect the manufacturer's intellectual property. It's annoying to say the least but understandable.

Original Telefunken smooth plates. Clean, neutral and transparent.Shuguang 12AX7LS Black Treasure phono grade from Grant Fidelity are the best I’ve heard. Like the Teles but better with more of everything. Need 20 hours burn in at least.

Phono preamp comparison
PS Audio have a new phono amp which could be worth a look. You can remote switch between MM/MC.

@slaw Maybe this will help you to respect me a little more.I've no idea what this means. Why would I not respect you?Your mindset reminds me that I'll never do a deal like I did for you again.Have I offended you in some way? 
Turntable and pre-amp advice sought
Here’s the thing. You’ll want to upgrade and you’ll regret not spending a little more like I suggested. Then you’ll have to sell what you got and waste money. I’d also stay away from built in phono preamps.
