@richardbrand  Thanks for your recommendation. 2 issues… potentially shortcomings on my part… but that is me.  1. I like perfect. I have bought some used audio pieces and even some antiques. The audio pieces were like new… mint & the antiques...

@mylogic  Thanks, I did read & even posted to that thread. My ears tell me things are pretty good. I think I will stay pat for a while. Perhaps I am in my Valhalla. 🤔

OK, false alarm. The Sondek LP12 at my local dealer was too good to be true. Not sure of the DOM, but it is a Valhalla/Ittock model, with a 70% worn Dynavector XX-2A. The upgrades were that the local dealer rebuilt the Valhalla power supply & ...

@elliottbnewcombjr Beautiful tone arm! Now that deck is retro! @lewm Fun fact!

@elliottbnewcombjr Very good point… food for thought. I have never actually seen one in person. Perhaps I will be excited with its appearance. In pictures as I stated it looks like my old Dual, but I think the details and quality components will e...

Attached is the note I sent to my dealer. I think I covered all your recommendations.  Jon, thanks! I did not expect a reply on your day off. Based upon my research, if the right options are installed it is a great buy.  Those options are:   -K...

@sealegs Even my lowly Pro-ject (they get no respect) teamed with the Hana ML &  Rega Aria easily bests my Aurender - Qutest - Qobuz digital combo & kills my CD - Qutest digital combo. Hopefully the LP12 widens that gap further…

@tablejockey Your definition of ‘cheap out’ and mine are obviously different. Almost all audio components can be bettered regardless of price, with diminishing returns. I have been on an upgrade path with many recent additions. Over the last 2 mon...

Thanks, in either case, wall mounting is not possible, every inch of space is spoken for. As far as foot faults are concerned, I don’t believe that will be an issue. The system is on the opposite wall from the entry door & it has only been an ...

Thanks again everyone. Great information, particularly on upgrade costs and upgrade recommendations. The included upgrades named were provided by the salesman (actually the store manager), about midnight on Saturday by memory, probably over a glas...

@jonwolfpell A very strong recommendation. Thanks But not sure what listening at the dealer might do. They have my speakers, but a different cartridge, electronics & room acoustics. Would that not be too many variables? @lewm A very good ques... 
Is it the gear or the ears?
LOL. I am getting very close to ‘enjoying the music’ instead of ‘critical listening’. Perhaps I arrived there with my new amp & pre… but perhaps I am still in the honeymoon period. I think part of the issue is the propensity on this site to pl...

@theo The TT will be installed in a second floor room (bonus room). I have had very limited issues with foot falls with my current setup. Not looking to be more susceptible to foot falls. Will I be?   Not sure what ‘environmental influence’ is.  @...

Thanks everyone. Some answers came back on age and condition: DOM: early 2000’s Upgrades: New trampoline, tone arm, newer motors control board Power supply / tone arm: I don’t honestly remember, but I’ll get the answer. Condition: Spectacular ...
