How often do you upgrade your turntable?

And how do you know that it is time to do it? I mean table itself, not arm or cartridge, though this might of course follow.

It's all about the music now. Regards, Dan

If it is, is far more common to just upgrade the cartridge. I have two tables - one is 5 years old and another 38 years old. Both have seen their fair share of cartridge upgrades and I have never given any thought to replacing them.
