Thanks, mate. I think you may be right; at this stage I'm compelled to try something like a Grado Gold cartridge to see how that fares. If it doesn't sound good golden, perhaps I'll then think about investing in a new table.
Best upgrade from a Thorens for $500-$700???
Hi folks,
I've decided I love vinyl.
I own an older belt-drive Thorens TD165 with a Sure MK95 cartridge into the phono stage of a Marantz 2285. If I had $500-$700 to spend on a total upgrade of my turntable components, what would you recommend?
Would anything in that price range constitute a significant upgrade from my current setup?
Thanks so much
