Quick update. I purchased the Mogami from Scott (above poster) and so far so good. I haven't directly compared the Monster cable with it but in my amateur opinion the Mogami seems to sound a little better. Right now I am focused on the TT because ...

Awesome recommendations Johnny. Thank you very much. The mods are cheap and very doable. I changed cartridges yesterday hoping to hear a big difference but I'm hearing distortion or its like 80% of the music is playing. I put on a Denon DL110 and ...

I'm taking the headshell to my buddy and will watch him install and line it up. This may give me a better comparison between the Technics and Pro-Ject. I will keep you updated. Should have the cart late next week. Thanks for your input.Sam

Rich I'm going to try a Denon DL 110. I've heard very good things about this cartridge. Local vintage audio dealer has one.

Rich I totally agree that some pressings aren't the best. I used Steely Dan's Greatest Hits as a reference because its recorded well. The 1200 sounded thin and edgy where the Pro-Ject sounded smoother, airy and more robust. The 1200 wasn't awful b...

Rich I have considered changing and to be honest after researching carts the M97xe seemed to be a logical choice. However, I almost bit the bullet and bought a Denon MC cart and can't remember the number. It was around $200. Is your Stanton modifi... 
Why do I like Class AB better than Class A?
I had the Plinius a few years ago and preferred listening in AB mode most of the time. For rock or more dynamic music AB overall sounded better and more accurate. I agree with the original poster it sounded bloated and a bit fuzzy. For softer soun...

Tablejockey I may decide to go the separate phono route once I get used to the Pro-Ject RM5SE. Thanks for your insight :) The Jolida JD-9 MKII is on my shortlist.
