I notice you've not internally regulated your PCB, perhaps this could be the way to go?
I have done several upgrades that I am happy with like the Mike New bearing, Oyaide mat, PSU, Isonoe feet which I am happy with. I have the stock arm with some damping upgrades (Herbie damper, Marigo dots) and it sounds fine to me. I have not checked in on the PCB route. Might do that later.
