To keep, upgrade or change


Hi all,

New to here, got back into playing my vinyl and so have a setup that was purchased quickly just so I could start listening again

I have a Marantz KL Pearl Lite Amp with Wharfdale Diamond 10.2 speakers

But my current turntable is a little bit of a hybrid, it's an Aiwa badged Rega plinth, and motor Debut tone arm with a Ortofon OMcart with a Thakker 10 stylus.

Now my question is, should I keep, or upgrade the motor and then later on the arm and stylus. Or should I cut my losses and go for a Rega Planar 3 with better arm etc and get the stylus/cart?

Currently very happy with the sound very clear etc but there's always that 'what if I did....'

Thanks

Based on recent experience, be very careful when approaching change in your system. I purchased a new integrated and wasn’t happy with it but it also lowered my satisfaction with my original system. In the end, I did pick up yet another amplifier that I absolutely love so all is well. I would suggest going for a completely new component that you can A/B rather than having to physically take it apart for the upgrade.
