How Long Is Too Long?
I sent my Quicksilver phono preamp from Connecticut to California for repair. It took a total of two weeks . BTW, I was not the original owner and I was not charged except for my shipping cost one way. BTW, QS is a small company!  
Amp for LS 3/5a Falcon Gold Badge

Building Analog System
You don’t need a phono preamp, that NAD has one. Take a look at Fluance or the Technics 100C for a tad over your budget! Fluance! https://www.fluance.com/turntables?msclkid=0ea55a1d6a7e17c1b9483e9581399ff5&utm_source=bing&utm_med... 
Rega P3 vs SOTA Comet III

New Cartridge Causing Intermittent Popping
Good luck with that. I still think the problem is with that fine line stylus going deeper into the record grooves. You will find out with the exchange. Let us know!  
New Cartridge Causing Intermittent Popping

New Cartridge Causing Intermittent Popping
