Do you think I should find remarkable improvements in sound quality
after this upgrade? I have heard the 3M red's have good bass
response.


I once had an Ortofon OM 5E on a earlier Project Debut II lacking
quite a bit of bass. Don't think it's a good cartridge - can't
understand why 1) it's standard supply with that deck & 2) why
reviewers back then raved on so much about the performance of the
cartridge / tonearm setup?



Have a little play with the VTA to see if it makes a difference: Play a
suitable record on its own and then with another record underneath it
and then with two underneath it (I think you'll find the spindle long
enough) - see/hear what difference it makes, if any.

Even better is to get a friend to do the listening without seeing what
you are doing....
