i would stay with the denon, and seek out a nice used thorens 145,147,160,166 etc for a big upgrade for a little more money....there was a revolver rebel that was very reasonable that delivers great sound on the gon also
MMF 2.1 and Audio Technica AT-95E
Hi folks,
I am in the process of burning my albums to hard disk. I have a low-end $150 turntable (Denon DSP-27J) and the cartridge it came with. Purchased new, less than 25 hours on it. It sounds surprisingly good (I rewired it to bypass the built-in preamp entirely and replaced the hard-wired interconnects with RCA connectors).
I have a chance to buy the table and cartridge mentioned above (used) for $135. Wondering if this is likely to be a noticeable improvement over what I have now.
Thanks!
