@mijostyn Re your comment on the Decca. That's why you need to have a good one. Thing is, most other cartridges are okay. Some are pretty good. In a Jelco or other heavy arms, a Decca makes music come alive. I have three Deccas and each brings its...

How about upgrading your table with a second motor and PSU? And add a second Jelco 850. Maybe a 12". Then buy a Decca. Like this one. Your GNote supports 2 inputs. You will not regret it.
