Phone pre advice - Would I benefit from this upgrade?

@russ69 I will email customer support, thanks for this suggestion!

Edit : I did find on their site that they use a standard mount. They suggest trying a Denon DL-110 MC. Has anyone tried this cartridge or have other suggestions?

If it were I, I would get a Mobile Fidelity  turntable which can be had for less than 2K.  Your present TT is entry level.  It makes much more sense to upgrade the table, you may be pleasantly surprised how good your system will sound.

Involving. 

Is your system wonderfully involving with other sources? 

Not so involving with just Phono?

Try a Puffin, you’ll never go back.

If you want LP wow maybe an AT 540ML,  740ML or 750SH first.

You could put the 2m Bronze on that turntable, I think it’s the same weight. I think even the Musical Fidelity lx2 lps phono would be better than what the Yanaha offers. It can still be had for about $379. So, an $800 investment. On second thought, the fact you mention a new table @ 2k makes me think the music hall mmf-7.3 with the 2m Bronze already installed. For that table, I’d move up from the aforementioned musical fidelity to the pro-ject tube box DS2, which I think is still available @ about $899. The 2m Bronze matches well with tube preamps.
