Need some turntable guidance
Hi,
I'm new here, so let me give you some background.
I'd say I'm more of a record collector than audiophile. About 15 years ago, life happened and I had to re-purpose my dedicated listening room, so I put most of my gear in storage. I now have my listening room back and I'm putting my system back together.
Here's what I have:
TT 1: VPI TNT 4 with TNT 5 bearing and flywheel, Eminent Technology ET 2.5 Tonearm, Supex SDX-1100 cartridge
TT 2: Denon DP-1250 with Magnepan Unitrack tonearm, Grado Reference Series cartridge
Phono transformer: Supex SDT-722
Preamp: PS Audio 5.0 preamp
Amp: Bryston 3B
Speakers: Apogee Duetta II
The Denon was used to evaluate the condition of new purchases and some casual/background listening, so I'll probably leave that alone for now.
I'd like to "modernize" my system a little bit, but as a record collector, my initial focus is on the turntable. I've been looking around, and seems I have several options.
1. Leave well enough alone, keep the table and arm as is.
2. Upgrade the VPI, I see there's an inverted bearing and platter upgrade available for TNT models, and sell off the current platter and bearing.
3. Sell off the TNT, and get something a bit less fussy as leveling the air suspension can be a bit of a pain.
If I sell, I'll probably want to keep the ET.
I'd appreciate any guidance I can get on this.
Thanks,
Ctor
