The rest of your system sounds good, but that turntable is a weak spot. I suggest that you get the Music Hall MMF-1.3 turntable.
Needle Doctor sells it for $299 with cartridge included, and it is quite good for the price. The MMF-2.3 is $499, and is even better, if that is within your budget.
Thank you! How does it compare to Pro Ject Debut Carbon DC or Rega Planar 1? Both are about the same price as Music Hall...
Before jumping to the conclusion of a TT replacement, how old and/or what kind of shape is your cartridge in? Do you clean the stylus regularly? If the TT is still sound, mechanically, a new cartridge might be all you need and that might be less expensive than replacing the TT.
