I fiqure that I will put another $50 dollars into it excluding the cartridge. I found that often the power supplies in these units often add EMI and increased noise. If need be I will remove the power supply from the plinth and place it in its own sheilded project box and terninate it with a 4 pin XLR. I'm also going to rewire the arm and run a tone arm wrap around it. Sort of a fun project!
