Turntable Quandry

I am currently using a great condition Technics SL-1410mk2 as my turntable with an ortofon black cart. The other components are Luxman L507-z integrated amp and Manley Chinook SE  phono stage. I also use a D07-x sacd/dac and Hifi Rose RS130 streamer. Im trying to match the level of gear with a new turntable. I listen to 30% vinyl. Or should I just keep the Technics and upgrade cabling etc.

Thanks!

Not knowing what you are using for cabling, I would say your turntable would be, by far, the weakest piece followed by the Ortofon cartridge (assuming it is the 2M Black and not the Cadenza series.)

Just my 2 cents...

It is regular 2M black and the cabling is the original that it came with in 1979. Im not adverse to replacing the table which would mean new cables etc. The Technics cables are hardwired
