Phono to pre cable swap
Can’t swear that’s what happening, in your system.      That’s just what reversed phase sounds like, to me, with some recordings.     Here’s hoping you find audio bliss.     It can be elusive!

Time for the Dynaco to go, Affordable Integrated or Separates for Wilson's Under $2.5K?
Mk III's can be upgraded, to perform as well as much of what's currently available.    Of course; that depends on how far one takes the, "upgrades".      The most critical components, in tubed equipment, are the transformers.     Dynaco's were exc...

Do expensive cables/wires REALLY make a difference
It’s sad, how many fail to acknowledge the disparity of aural acuity (just like every other sense), among our species.      A good man will recognize his own limitations.      A wise man recognizes; not everyone shares the same limitations.      H... 
Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?
As long as you're willing to settle for, "good enough".............
