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.

Dkarmeli....it doesn't sound like you really know the difference between the acrylic and aluminum platters as far as the sound is concerned. The acrylic is more tubby, with less high end. Aluminum is far better sounding with more delicacy, openness, etc.

Last Leming.....look for Bear Paws to make your system sing better. They will give better bass, better mids, and better highs...for a mild outlay in cost. I think the world of the guys at Ginko, but their support thing for VPI is a step in the wrong direction.

Moonguy....I found that Terra Stones are not as good as my Bearpaws when used with my Superscout/rim drive. HOWEVER... what I DID find was that the Terra Stones in the front corners of my room did wonders with some room resonance I had. (discovered that by accident after ordering and trying the then useless Terra Stones)
