New Turntable or Better Cartridge?

Hey you can buy a new tt for thousands and a cart to....spend 20,000 .If you want ,does it sound better ? you better hope so.But you don't have to go that far .Get a Fluance rt 84 $350 .Buying an old used tt for big bucks ,well I would  pass.

limomangus,

The Fluance reminds me of the days when the of 3 steps to vinyl heaven were said to be the Dual CS505/1, then the Rega Planar 3 and finally the Linn LP12.

Skip forward some 35 years and the entry point could now well be the Fluance RT84, with a possible move up to the Rega P3 and finishing off with the Technics SL1200G.

I think these current no-faff decks all offer excellent value for money in comparative performance terms too.

Yes all will serve well ,really depends on how much you want to send.I never had a 20k tt or 10 k ,would buy one if I could .i know I've seen ones that look more like a work of art .Chrome ,belts ,motors ,ring clamps, heavy weights on it .Way to much .But what ever makes you happy.
