Should I upgrade my turntable?

As you can see, the Technics table and its adherents have a few vocal detractors on this and other forums. I find the more venomous and derisive the language, the less trustworthy the source. From certain parties, it comes to sound like a broken record, devoid of any constructive information and pregnant with language that delights only its author--over and over and over again.

You'll be better off listening to more reasoned and reasonable voices, perhaps ones who know that the noun "flock" takes a singular verb and who will refrain from calling you a "sucker" or "some know nothing" (sic).

Depending on what your using for a phonostage, your return on ivestment may be better upgrading that. I have a DL160 and it didn't really shine until I found a proper matching stage. In most cases any standard MM stage will do, but the output is low enough that I heard unwanted noise from my amp. to compensate. You may not have that problem though.

Actually, everybody is right. Elizabeth is looking at this from a top "audiophile" point of view, which she is. From her point of view, the TT is crap. If you are happy with "midfi", you can not find a better TT.
