Bored of my playlist and what I've heard so far. Anyone have links to good unsigned new artists?

Hi, I am just starting a turntable set up and would love some advice. I have the debut carbon turntable and focal 706V Bookshelf speakers. I would like a recommendation on how to connect them together. Do I need a pre amp or what would you recommend? I was looking at the Bellari tube VP 130 or would you suggest something else. Also I am unsure of what cables I need to connect everything together. Thank you for your advice. I know they are rookie questions. I just want to ask the professionals to get the best sound for my buck

Hey everybody, I have a Tchnics SL-L1 that was given to me by my uncle and was formerly my dad's before that. So I was talking to him at Christmas, and my uncle and dad both confirmed they hadn't changed the cartridge since it was brand new. So I have read the beginner's guide, and I wanted some recommendations on a new cartridge. I have looked into: Audio-Technica AT95E Audio-Technica AT92E Grado BLACK1 Prestige Now, I want to spend < $60/70. I have heard of issues with the Grado BLACK1 on another forum. Is there another cartridge around this price range I should be looking at? Thanks in advance, any help would be greatly appreciated! My setup (if it matters): Technics SL-L1 Sony STR-7045 Polk T15
