Analogue front end. You want more weight, scale and dynamics.Where do you start upgrading?

Weight, scale and dynamics will improve with better turntable isolation if you don’t already have that sorted out. That happened for me when I went from an isoAcoustics Delos to a HRS R3x isolation base. That was an eye-opening game changer and really sold me on the importance of mechanical isolation for a turntable.

I don’t use a platter pad. Well, maybe I do. It’s a 70mm POM platter pad sitting on a 15mm stainless steel platter. Right @mulveling?

A clamping system can further improve the transfer of energy, but whether this will improve the sound is a matter of system synergy and personal raste.

I have the Clearaudio Statement clamp and outer limit ring, and it does sound better to use them.
