You didn't say what you would like to improve. I am no expert, but it seems to me that you might be better off by further upgrading the Technics, the arm, the cartridges and the phono stage. Unless you just want to try something different.
Upgrade choices
Hello All,
I need some expert opinions on a TT upgrade. I am considering the following:
-Pro Ject RM 9.2 (used)
-JA Michell Technodec
-Origin Live Aurora MKII Turntable (w/Audio Origami modded RB250 arm)
-Clearaudio Concept
-Pro-Ject RM5.1SE Turntable
I want to keep my budget around $1500-$1600. I have two carts that I could use, both with very little use; an Audio Technica 33EV and a Denon Dl-103R. My modest setup of current equipment I will be using this table with is a:
-Custom JWN Tube Amp with 4 Shuguang 6CA7 Treasures and all NOS rectifiers, etc.
-Dared SL2000a Preamp w/Psvane 12AT7's and a Brimar rectifier
-Highly modded Cambridge Audio 640p phono pre
-Technics SL1200 MKII (modded with a Sumiko MMT tonearm, Audioquest cable, Applied Fidelity Gen II bearing, and Isonoe footers)
-Snell Acoustics Type IIE speakers on custom stands
Any input will be greatly appreciated. I just want to be sure that I am making a positive leap forward and not a lateral move over my modded SL1200.
