OK, What's next?

i would say upgrade to a mc cartridge like an AToc9 or denon 103c and that would be a noticeable improvement and you dont even need a new phono section. there are other choices to consider in the way of mc cartridges.

What, and get rid of my beloved "budget" cartridge??? Good point and duly noted. Thanks

i got one of those YEARS ago from J+R in ny for $80 when if first came out. i loved it and my friend urged me to buy a backup. i didnt as i have many carts to start with. a lot of people said on the net that it is bright but they were exaggerating a bit.

my friend bought one and put it on his vpi hw19 jr/rega 3 and was quite happy for a long while. now he has an oc 9 and is happier.

recently, i did buy a 440MLa for $99 as a backup and it remains in its package and will for quite a while.

further on down the road, my recommendation is an ortofon Kontrapunkt b from juki in HK. a lot more money but for a lot more cartridge. i intend to own one someday.

I see LP Gear has the ATo9 on for $339. Hmmm, for under $1000 with the Music Hall DAC (a must hear when it hits the market) I would have some real sweet upgrades. Thanks Guys
