Sell the Denon. Get a Technics SL1500 TT ($1800) and a Hana SL mc cartridge ($750). Way better sound quality than your present setup.
It this a decent Phono setup?
I have the following items I’ve been using for spinning vinyl. The system sounds pretty good, but I’m wondering there is anything that would mate even better?
- Denon DN-300F turntable (bought it modded with direct RCA outputs to use separate preamp).
- Ortofon 2M Red MM cartridge.
- McCormack Micro Phono Drive.
- Discovery Plus Four interconnects (2 pairs).

Mark Levinson 383 integrated
Revel F30 speakers
Cardas golden reference speaker cables

I agree with Jason, better turntable, turntable, I would look for used one on hifi engine, within your budget (stretch it, think long). check reviews of ones that appeal to you, ask here again about specific models, questions to ask sellers https://www.hifishark.com/search?q=turntable put your price range in, and to see new listings every morning, sort by ’first seen, new first’. all countries, or change to your country only. note: to eventually use different cartridges: go for ’standard’ removable headshell, ’standard’ S arm. your existing denon has removable, but it fits it’s specific straight arm ...................................................... and better cartridge with advanced stylus shape https://www.sound-smith.com/articles/stylus-shape-information I often recommend this cartridge (wide channel separation and tight channel balance, and great sounding https://www.audio-technica.com/en-us/vm540ml
