Innovation wood is fantastic Turntable, I had one with 9 inch Universal Tonearm and Davinci v2cart.--- then urge and quest to upgrade it to some thing better Perhaps MI, or Jubilee reference, looked at forums, called dealers and God father Surroundings. I did not get any definite answer, most people stated it is aside move, "If you want to upgrade innovation, put the best CA cart ,New Unity Tone arm, silver vs copper wire, Din vs RCA even MS had no definitive answer, MY cool contact stated he is using Unity TA on Ovation Turntable. Other AA forum Boss told me ,he is a CA dealer and owns Innovation TT and he did not notice much improvement,, he recommended to just buy a new 12 K cart for jazz/acoustic.
Now I believe him as I traded in innovation to buy MI and played few records, May be back ground little quiet, but on Blind test I would not have been able to tell the difference.
I have more platters moving arounds, All the fancy words, more mass, but it still the belt and Pulley design with sensor.
I had to get a professional, to set it up for correct configuration using lin magik software,
Sorry for long winded post, Perhaps it will help some one who is looking to upgrade Innovation TT. I purchased a Black MI with Jubilee MC cart/univeral 9" RCA plugs(new)
My other stuff is AR tube amps/preamp/phono with Cardas CB cables and Focal Scala V2 speakers.
