How often do you upgrade turntable ?

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. 

Like an oil change in the car, every 5,000 miles. ;^)

Sorry @inna, don't mean to make light of your question.  But it seems as long as one is satisfied with the performance and nothing breaks or wares out, why replace?

Yes, why replace ? Only to have something even better. Many keep their turntables for years, I suppose their speakers too. The rest usually gets upgraded more frequently.

I wouldn’t call buying 40yr old mint TT an “upgrade”! I have bunch of TTs, and  “timeless engineering marvels” regularly added to my collection.

In one system here there is a VPI that started off as a junior. Over the years it has finally been upgraded as far as possible sans the SAMA.  The Superplatter was a huge upgrade for this unit. Also the SME V arm was huge as well.
