See if you can audition a Rega 3. It will sound different to the Pioneer and you might or might not prefer it. But it is a good yardstick in terms of assessing whether you want to explore belt drive turntables.
Is it worth upgrading my current turntable setup?
Hello all here is my current system
Pioneer PLX-1000 turntable w/ Ortofon 2M Black cartridge
Tokyo Sound PE 100SE phono stage
Aric Audio Unlimited tube preamp
Odyssey Audio Khartago SE amplifier
Divine Acoustics Proxima 3 speakers
Do you think the turntable is holding back the rest of the system? Thanks for any advice!
