Hi Newbee -
Thanks for the reply! I did pick up an Ortofon OM20 cart to replace the stock cart - that improved things over the stock sound - firmer in the bass, and bit more velvety, but it still sounds mushy or veiled to me. I've also got a Groovetracer platter in place, but honestly I didn't notice much effect from that. Of course, at this point, the GT and the new cart cost as much as the P1 did originally, so I was thinking of just getting a much better table instead of upgrading into oblivion on a $400 deck!
So, at this point, I'm exploring my options before taking a listen at stuff.
As always in this hobby, I always find myself buying stuff, then a year later replacing said stuff with new stuff that costs 3x (10x?!) as much - so this time around, figured I'd set a decent budget and try to save myself from future "upgraditis"! All that said, I'm open to any and all suggestions!
