Anyone else using one, this is my first turntable and was wondering if anyone had any useful tips on getting the best out of this table. I need to replace the cartridge, that much I know, and also was wondering about slip mats and other accersories that would help me get the most out of this machine as upgrading is not very likely for a few years. Also, I have read that the Ortofon cartridges are recommended with the AR tables as they seem to have less hiss and a lower noise floor with these tables.

Anything else I should know? Thanks!
