Hi, Oleschool ...
Go back and reread Tablejockey's post. He has it right. Here's a cost effective way to get where you want to be ... at least temporarily as the hobby goes.
1. Buy a custom turntable belt from originlive.com. This is NOT a subtle improvement, its major.

2. Buy an Audio Technica ART-9 cartridge. As Tablejockey, Pani and Almarg will attest ... its a giant killer, beating many cartridges over 3K - 5K.

3. Install Synergistic Research Black fuses in all of your electronics.

4. Buy a ten-pack of Synergistic Research High Frequency Transducers (HFT's) and place them around your room in compliance with the directions in the box.

5. Buy a nice supply of adult diapers and don them prior to your first listening session after all of the above is complete. Yer gonna need them. :-)
