update- I put a deposit on Pete Riggles string theory arm. This will give me a couple of months to decide on a cartridge while it is being made. I am leaning toward a new Lyra Delos or a lightly used Helicon, Skala. Can't go wrong with a cartridge handmade by a Japanese master and his assistant right? Also like what i have read about the Transfiguration Phoenix. A phonostage upgrade could be in the future, but I think the Nighthawk is very good. My tt may sound modest, but it is highly tweaked with a new motor, spindle/bearing, copolymer subchassis, new pulley, lead mat, outer ring clamp, bren record weight etc.
