Next step in Turntable

Tundra - any number of great TT bases out there for the non suspended tables - I use HRS created by an engineer w ears but there are others for sure.

how is your quest going ? Hopefully having fun.

Try this if you considering classics (direct drive) for two tonearms. 

(1) Others have already made this point but surely it has to be Direct Drive.  In the Technics lineup they have a good range.  They are blindingly easy to use.
(2) In terms of phono stage, again no specific model but please look up 'LCR Network'.  They tend to be expensive though.  Not as important as the TT.
(3) Cartridge:  I only know the Hana by reputation.  I used to go to highesh end cartridges but I have changed my mind.  They do not last like other components, and - I know this as well as anybody - they are easily damaged!
(4) Tonearm: avoid Origin Live.

The first step would be a better table with a better arm that will be your starting point that will make the biggest difference.
