How often do you upgrade your turntable?


And how do you know that it is time to do it? I mean table itself, not arm or cartridge, though this might of course follow.

I too don't plan to upgrade my Nottingham Spacedeck any time soon, and unless I am ready to go over $10k or so I would only upgrade to another Nottingham.
Theoretically speaking, if I had , say, $3000 for upgrades right now, what would I do? Would I upgrade the table, the arm plus cartridge, cartridge plus phono or integrated amp?
That would be tough. Probably either cartridge plus phono or the amp, also depending on opportunity.
Back in May I put a new arm and sub chassis on my LP-12. I just bought an SME20/2 with an SME IV.Vi arm. I think I'm done, unless another good deal comes along...
I’ve owned at least 22 turntables, just counted them up :-).

Always striving to make my source as good as possible. Regardless of the remainder of the chain, you must have great source to make great sound and LP is currently the longest running format.

I agree with comments about tonearm and cartridge but that’s an even longer list. Seems the better we make our system the easier it is to hear the source and vice versa.
Albert, do you have anything in mind as your next table upgrade?
Agree about the importance of the source. More important than speakers? This is a very old argument. No less important, I think.
