can you provide some details as to why I should do that? Also what cart would you recommend?
Technics is much better turntable and it's Japanese Direct Drive with nice arm, you can't buy anything better for $1800 (new with warranty). If you trust reviews simply read about SL1200GR, but it's a nonsense comparing chap belt drive to Direct Drive from Matsushita, the last one alway win.
Actually everything about cartridges and technics turntable is here on audiogon.
I prefer vintage MM like Grace (F14, LEVEL II), Audio-Technica (AT-ML150, AT-ML170, AT-ML180), Victor (X-1II, X-1IIe) cartridges to anything new/modern.
