I think a Denon 103/103R + VPI SDS (assuming you don't already have one) would be a far better way to spend your money - and a significant upgrade. You'll also have change to buy some records!

I have the 103R and SDS on my VPI. Install the Denon first, and listen-you'll like it. Then install the SDS-you won't believe how it will focus the sound. If you do want a more expensive cart later, you have a great back-up, or get a spare arm and run both.I'm a contractor, so I'm good at spending other peoples' money:}
"I'm a contractor, so I'm good at spending other peoples' money:} "Powermatic saws don't come cheap. That's what I wanted, but settled for the best of the Hitachi lineup. Still, it's no Powermatic.
It is a good saw, though next time I think I'll get one of the European multi-machines.
BTW, that Hitachi saw will probably last you the rest of your life. Hitachi and Makita seem to make the best [i.e. sturdiest] of all the Japanese imported stuff.
Mine is their big one. I am amazed at how quiet it is, and the standard fence actually works great! I was expecting to change the fence because no one has a decent one, but Hitachi's will accurately hold its setting.It's made in Taiwan. The Japanese are getting lazy, like us.
