FWIW, don't forget that the differences between a good 3K front end and a 10K front end are very subtle and would be lost in the actual performance limitations imposed by many average/good quality phono pres, pres, amps, and speakers (and it only takes one turkey in the chain to defeat the benefits of the new system).
If you already have a high-performance (resolving) system, look at your check book balance, the extent to which your wife's eyes bug out when you tell her what you want to do, look at the stars when on your knees praying, and hope you make the 'right' choice! :-)
I still look at the glossy photos of naked women in the rags at my barber shop, but I always go straight home. Nice to have something to dream about..........:-)
