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


Currently using the following: 

Mofi Ultradeck w/ MasterTracker cart
- Powered by AQ Thunder power cable 

Sutherland 20/20 mk1 with LPS (stock power cable) 
- Zu Mission mk1 phono from TT to pre, Zu Mission mk1 from pre to amp 

I don't have much left that I think I could do on this end before upgrading the table entirely. I'm curious where you would spend your next dollar? 

MC Cart
Phono cable
Interconnect 
Power cable to phono 

Beyond that I think this set up will be pretty well maxed out and it would be time for a new TT to start squeezing out more.

I do wonder how these would sound compared to the stock feet, which are also made by HRS. 

@displayname yeah, usually listen to 4-6 records a day. My system gets turned on when I wake up, stay on for most of the day.  I work from home, most of the time work from my. listing spot.

Spinning records and making dinner has become a problem. Try to stream now when cooking. 

@mswale I’m very jealous, but that would certainly make the cost of retipping a significant factor.

I finally did some upgrades to my headphone system at my desk for WFH days. Too much zoom to sit at the stereo all though unfortunately. 

…Cost $500 to replace the needle. That really hurt!…

If your phono stage can handle it, maybe get a Soundsmith cartridge because the needle replacement is much more affordable
