It's time to up the ante, me thinks!
Marco.
Fair point Marco.
Perhaps I was hoping that I could get away with spending less money
Being serious though the deck doesn't sound bad, I thought if I could get it sounding a bit better with a new cart then that would keep me happy for a little while.
That was the whole point of the AT 440 but for what ever reason that hasn't quite worked out.
I'd be happy just to keep things as they are for a little while if I could just get a little bit of extra refinement, detail and bass control for now.
As I said I wanted to hear a little improvement as I went along the modding path, this would encourage me that it was a path worth treading.
Perhaps then it is worth me going for the Nagaoka for now, something to allow me to enjoy the deck for a little while until I get the courage to shell out on the more expensive mods.
I hope some of my ramblings make sense
