I'd be inclined to replace the turntable with something better before putting that kind of money into a cartridge. I suppose you could move the cartridge in due course. While you may hear some improvement with a better cartridge, you are not hearing its potential capability. You don't say what you have in it currently. There are superior stylus replacements that will elevate existing cartridges for less money.
