Time to upgrade my turntable?
One other note; you may want to consider the Audiogon vendors (TMR, etc.) that will take your Pro-Ject in trade. Some offer consignment as an alternative to trade-in price. I've found consignment almost doubles the trade-in value and only takes 4-6 weeks to complete a sale. There's also on-line vendors with robust trade in programs on most equipment like Hi-Fi Heaven and Overture. |
Ortofon can be expected to claim the cartridge is the most important element. But the best cartridge in the world will sound terrible if the turntable and arm are not well enough engineered to retain the stylus in precisely the correct orientation in the groove. Just a micron or two will really screw it up and there are three dimensions to keep right. I have nothing against Ortofon; I have their Anna and A90 and both are absolutely top-grade. |
This Technics SL-1200GR or SL-1500C would be a nice upgrade. It might be more than your budget but you set 'em and forget 'em! https://www.technics.com/us/products/grand-class/sl1200g-series/sl-1200gr.html https://www.technics.com/us/products/premium-class/sl-1500c.html |

you should be be so negative about DSP. You will also be using it eventually. Actually, you already are. Every recent recording you have was manipulated by DSP. Ignorance is bliss. They also use reverb, delay, compressors & all kinds of equipment to MAKE the recordings that aren't used in playback. There is a difference between MAKING and PLAYING a recording. I see your problem. You don't know Shite from Shimola. But I suspect it makes for a blissful life for you. |
