I think you would benefit from a new arm. The stock technics arm is a fine piece of workmanship but it can be bettered. Lots of people have gone done the Jelco route, some the Rega route ( I could not get on with Rega's). I had the SME V from my Linn days so I brought it over onto the 1210 and have never looked back, some find the SME too analytical so be careful!

The regulation mods give a bigger, better, solid more cohesive sound stage, it's not subtle and was more than happy when I had it done.
