With your setup, seeing you’ve spent $1800(?) on speaker cable, I’d strongly recommend stepping up to Clear Audio turntable at $2200. More than you want to spend but that’s the minimum for your setup.
I wouldn’t go into a MC cartridge, unless it’s a high output one that you can play through a regular phono stage.
