Should I keep the Turntable or sell it?
 It seems you may have less of the audio file disease then most of us. I would go with the best used table I could afford for now and then buy a good cartridge separately later but I’ve been at this for 20 years   But you would probably be happy w... 
Should I keep the Turntable or sell it?

Speaker recommendation for SET tube amp MASTERSOUND
I used 15” tannoy with 845 with good result. Also Altec 604.  More in keeping to your modern look i used reference 3A 
Tone controls?

Buy 12ax7 tube

Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened?
@ct0517  my comment of disbelief about how much they sell for was more directed at the used market where you can pick them up for around 1000$ 
Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened?
The ET is a phenomenal tonearm and I can’t believe it sells for as little as it does. It just pulls out that much more natural detail and subtle soundstage cues which tells me it’s allowing the cart to do its job. I run a portable construction com... 
Cartridge new or used ?
