How often do you upgrade turntable ?

I had some Pioneer table back int he 70's, Early 80's, acquired a Denon DP-79? at a dealer fire sale (literally). Purchased a Technics SL-1200MK2 in 2005. Everyone can smirk now. However, to me it's the last turntable I'll ever need. Dead quiet and has that PRAT that everyone is so fond of. Currently using a Goldring cartridge and really pleased with what I hear.

Got my Close & Play when I was around 7 … at 12 upgraded the cart to a Grado MC Cart and Mac external phono pre… At 15 modified it to accept an external power source, and just recently added the acrylic platter and isolation platform… Killer. Piece … LMAO 😂😂😂

1984 Technics SLQ-200 - AT P-Mount ?

2018 Orbit Uturn - Ortofon Super OM20

2021 EAT B Sharpe - AT VM740ML

1- (2) Pioneer PL a45d in 1977.

2- (2) Technics 1200s 1984

3-Technics GAE 2019

4- EMT 948 2022

I sold off one 1200 & gave one Pioneer to my Son. My basement system has the 1200 & a Thorens 126 mk lll

My main system carries both the GAE & 948. Both systems run tubes for my taste, even my phono pre’s are tube drivin. I see no reason in the future for any upgrade, but cartridges. 

@huang - Not unless you want to! 

Still have a SYSTEMDEK IIX from the mid 1980's that I bought almost 20 years ago. 

Great sounding TT for very little money that has been quite durable, and does scale nicely with a better tone arm and phono cartridge.
