Turntable advise for an analog novice


Hi,
I've just started listening to vinyl again and I need some turntable advise. A few years ago, I purchased a Goldring GR1 with an RB250 arm which I paid around $250 for with an Goldring Electra cartridge. I'm really interested in upgrading but I'm not sure if it makes more sense to invest my money in a better cartridge and upgrade the tonearm wiring on my GR1 or buy a good used TT. My budget is about $1200 give or take.

Thx

Hi Andarilu:

I think most would agree that the TT comes first, then the arm, then the cartridge. You could probably get into a used VPI Scout with a Dynavector 10x5 cartridge for that budget, maybe a few more $.
