Question Suggestions for foundational parts of a longer term vinyl setup

[Al ears]

That's the wife's territory; meddling is not an option.

I genuinely think I'm done now. No need to change anything at all.

I'm not sure if it's new or if the original black has evolved into whatever I have. Either way, I like the look and grain of it.

Agree, meddling in a wife's territory is a punishable offence and best avoided.
I like the set-up.
Also admire any man who knows when it's time to stop spending money and enjoy what he currently has. I got to that point years ago mainly because I no longer had sufficient funds for any major upgrades. Now I will simply replace something when it eventually breaks......
Perhaps a new cartridge if I ever manage to sell my Quad speaker package that is now redundant.
