Instead of changing TTs why not try an external phono stage first like an EQ500?
Phono stage can make a big difference.
McIntosh MT5 or VPI Prime Scout turntable
Greetings Audiogon forum community.
I currently have the VPI prime scout and I’ve enjoyed it for the past four years. I have a Luxman 509X, Isotek Aquarius V5 power conditioner and Wilson Audio Yvette speakers. I am 90% sure I am upgrading to the McIntosh MA12000 integrated amp which will be replacing my Luxman. I am now considering moving away from the VPI turntable and getting the McIntosh MT5. Look forward to any insight you can provide.
