What would give the best overall improvement


I'm considering updating one piece of my turntable setup. Either the phono preamp, the interconnect to the phono pre, the platter, arm, or the cart - or maybe another piece I haven't even thought of.

I currently have a VPI scout and use the VPI interconnect to my phono pre. I run a Dynavector DV20x2 Low. My phono pre is a Dynavector P75 MKIII set to the enhanced mode.

If I wanted to spend around $1000+/-, would there be a decent upgrade in the price range worth while? I'd like a little more mid bass heft, and maybe a tad more air to the music presentation.

Thank you for your response. I actually do have a mapleshade plinth.
Oh well I guess I'll just have to save my pennies!
Decided to go with the SDS I've been wanting that for a while anyway - good suggestions by the way!

When I get in I'll give you my thoughts on it.
How do you figure changing my speakers to give me a better bang for the buck? I like my speakers! I like the way they sound on my digital and I like the way they sound with a sound on the vinyl.
While I agree that speakers do make a large change, I'm looking to tweak the system not completely change the character. Regardless $1000 won't buy better speakers IMO.
I have been considering new "feet" but there are so many options. I think a better outlay of cash at this time might be to stabilize my rack.

It's a VTI modular system, not really high ended at all. I have about 6 stacked units now with the TT on top. While I get seemingly zero vibration through the rack, at least nothing I can readily notice, there is a slight oscillation of the rack if you push at the top. I think I want to try bracing the rack to the wall.

The best bet would be to buy a multi level rack, but due to space limitations it needs to be "tower" like in its modularity.
Well, it seems there are no SDS controllers to be found. They are all out of stock!
"Guessing you already have a RCM or process in the mix..."

I'm gonna say "no" to that since I don't know what a RCM is or what "process" your talking about;)
