Is it worth upgrading my current turntable setup?

My usual advice I’m afraid, it will be encouraging an encounter to take place of equipment that has raised an interest and might be seen as a wanted addition to your system.

Select a few of your favourite LP’s and set aside a little time for their cleaning, when done listen to these in their new as close to pristine condition as can be achieved, and assess the impression being made on the home system.

Make a few contacts to see if visits can be arranged to those in possession of devices you have shortlisted and make inroads to see if you able to be offered demonstrations of items.

Take along your newly cleaned LP’s and if there is something new to pick up on and a good impression is being made, usually the improvement on offer will be noticed instantaneously.

The ears are the very best tool for such investigations.

This method of gathering experiences does not require too much of an outlay either.

@jasonbourne52 Also has a valid point to take on board.

I myself over the years have acquired a selection of Platter Mats and Puck Weights.

There is as stated a opportunity to change the presentation incrementally using these ancillaries. I refer to it as a different seasoning and Jason is referring to a Sonic 'flavour'.

This experience can be taken further, with a trial of different Sub Plinth Materials and Footers in a Assembly to produce a TT Support Structure.
