IMO, you should buy the Music Hall 7.1 Underwoodwally has up for sale for $1100. Nice table, nice arm/cartridge, dust cover, dealer support and if it comes smashed, you won't be responsible. It's a hell of a lot better than what you had and you'll get some good play out of it. In a few years, when you know more about analog, you can move up to something really good.
Turntable Upgrade: What Sonic areas will improve?
Ok I would consider myself an audiophile beginner. I really want to upgrade my turntable. Currently using a used project 2 table with a grado black cart (70 dollar cart).
I am looking for a bigger soundstage, better layering and texture. I prefer musical presentations on the slightly warm side to etched high resolution presentations.
Thinking used rega or VPI or a new rega p3/VPI traveler. Have no idea what cart to get. Will this upgrade make the improvements I am looking for and what carts should I be looking at (300 range) Thanks in advanced.
Associated equipment
Exposure 17 preamp/phono
Exposure 18 mono amps
Exposure speaker cable
Speakers System Audio Mantra 10
Source project 2 grado cart
