I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve?

Dear @mijostyn  : " problem with the arm is that it is heavier.. " well that's your problem because the arm is at the lower range of medium mass and about the removable headshell that could be an advantage to mate it with any cartridge but there is no perfect tonearm, all in audio is about trade offs.

My man your system is good.Do yourself a favor ,Enjoy what you already own....Don't go nuts and dont search for something over the rainbow....your there already.Save your money .If anything just get more vinyl you want to hear....Peace .

You have a very nice system.

What are you doing about vibration and RF interference??

Putting McCormack Tip Toes under my amp did an amazing job in bringing the sound to another level. Improved clarity, wider/deeper sound stage etc etc, it was almost shocking what a difference these little guys make.

I have put them under my CDP's and DAC as well.

I have lots of different vibration dampening material under everything else. most of this stuff is NOT from Audiophile sources. Most material are standard vibration material/solutions for commercial applications.

I do have a set of ISONODE units combined with a heavy butcher block cutting board under my TT which was another inexpensive improvement.

My rack sits on 4 big "Vibe-Killers" pucks meant for large Washer/ dryers for example.

Before you spend money on gear try tweaks like that.

Fuses are another thing you may try and AC power conditioners for source gear.

Replacing AC outlets with commercial/Hospital grade units help. I spent a bit more and bought a Cabledyne  heavy duty /cryo/deluxe outlet for about $50 ???It was years ago, I don't remember the exact price. PS Audio has similar units for about 100 bucks. It has helped lower the noise floor a good bit.

There are plenty of very high quality SurgeX power conditioners on the used market that can be had at very reasonable prices. I'm in Television Broadcasting and our control rooms and rack rooms all run through their products.

Stay away from Furman and the like.

These are all relatively inexpensive additions that will yield noticeable results .

Enjoy! 

There are some easy things you can do:

Everything is prone to vibration. TT must have an isolation platform. Definitely not a butcher block or solid structure. (If you need help with the best isolation device for your TT, you can pm me)

Make sure your TT is setup correctly! TAKE YOUR TIME. Most TT owners will not spend tedious/setup time. I think it’s Fun!! 😊

Including; Overhang, stylus rake angle. Azimuth setup.

I would suggest a Wally tool and a Cartridge Enabler from OriginLive.
Hopefully that will help.

Happy spinning!!

I agree with stereo_gen but before you stop make one more upgrade and you will be perfectly satisfied replace that preamp with the Pass xp22 or if can go a little further $$$ the Pass xp30 the syner-g of Pass gear is truely outstanding trust me there is where you would stop. Now if you want to go futher which I seriously doubt upgrade Arm and Cart. Origin Live encounter MK 4 tone arm and SoundSmith Carmen MK2 cart. I owned the Pass X350 Power Amp and the Pass XP30 preamp,when I added the Xp30 took my gear up to another 2 levels the 3.6 Maggies have never sounded so good and please don`t let the naysayers sway you in regards to Pass Labs distortion measurements your not listening to measurements listen blind listen with your ears trust me OP.
