Where's the next weak link in my analog chain?

What is the TT placed on?

This makes a difference in bass/balance/detail with my old Thorens and it uses a sprung suspension.

I use a specialty shelf that was discontinued ages ago (use one under the CD deck as well), but I’m not familiar with the MoFi (looks interesting though).

Anyway, aside from that I would try a different cartridge.

That's my dilemma with a $1k cart is the almost yearly needle replacement cost. 

Yearly? How much are you spinning? Over 4 full albums per day?

The Ultradeck comes stock with HRS feet which do a pretty good job, and I have the TT set on a VTI rack. 

Brother in law has my low hour Lyra Delos on same TT OP has, no shortage of detail or slam…. but i also have a lot of seat time with the Hana ML and as others have said it is a fantastic value.

Have fun !

OP you might be shocked w sonic improvements made w HRS Nimbus under…. everything…. You can see extensive deployment of HRS products in my virtual systems…. they seem to multiply like… Tribles…
