That pretty much says it all. I guess, when money allows, my next upgrade will be my turntable/cartridge, but that will be a long time from now. It all but took an act from God to have my wife go along with the purchase of the 8001, but to now go and spend upwards of a grand for a turntable, cartridge and step up transformer is a "whole nutha' game."
