I recommend a Pioneer PLX1000 TT. $700. Direct drive. Add the latest Grado MI cartridge ($100 - 200) and you will have a fine sounding system. Later, you can upgrade to an MC cartridge (Denon, Hana ...).
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
