How often do you upgrade turntable ?


The table itself, not arm or cartridge.

And when you do, how far do you go ? Big steps, small steps ?

I got my Nottingham Spacedeck more than ten years ago and have no intention to replace it. I would have to jump high for the upgrade to make sense. One day perhaps.

I bought an LP12 ca. 1987, after using a Thorens TD126 Mk II for some years. The LP12 fell into disrepair and wasn't used for a long time. Then I got a Rega RP3 in 2010, a Clearaudio Ovation in 2011 and a Clearaudio Innovation in 2023. On the last upgrade I got two 12" tonearms for it.

I might upgrade the Innovation to a Master Innovation this year, depending on some things I expect to happen.

@inna I graduate college and started my first job on June 15, 1982.  i bought a new system with turntable a couple of months later.

I see. That's unusual, I think, to keep a turntable for such a long time. Without perhaps adding another better one.
