Is it worth upgrading my current turntable setup?

How does it sound?

Yes, get thee a better Turntable, and move that nice cartridge to it.

Alignment Skills. To effectively move cartridges and/or change headshells without hesitation, you need a few inexpensive tools and skills. Factory/Seller/Friend/Yourself. You will benefit for the rest of your life if you learn to do this yourself.

That table is a terrific TT to start with, to find out if you will stick with Vinyl. AT120 also, a good beginner, it costs less.

You already have an advanced stylus cartridge, so you are getting the most you can from that TT, time to move up.

THINK LONG, NOW

A heavier Plinth, A heavier platter, and what arm(s)?

I prefer quartz locked direct drive. I chose JVC Victor 7 layer plinth.

I prefer 2 (or 3) arms ready to go (I play a lot of jazz mono lps), to swap cartridges/arms instantaneously during a listening session. MC Stereo; MM Stereo replaceable stylus; MM Mono. SUT with 3 selectable inputs.

Single Arm: at least a removable headshell with alternate cartridges pre-mounted.

Headshell with Azimuth adjustment IF the arm fitting isn’t ’right on’.

Arm Height Adjustment: VTA on the Fly is nice for perfectionists, but when changing headshells: Easy Height Adjustment is what’s important

my long arm has 2 nastily hidden allen screws, forget it.

rear arm is wonderful Acos Lustre GST-801. Easiest height adjustment ever. Their GST-1 is also easy arm height adjust, but a more complicated sliding base cutout is required.

Technics Height adjustable base accepts two alternate arms: straight/fixed cartridge or s shape removable headshell. I just installed one for a friend

 

 

here it is with the straight arm on a technics plinth with SP-15

 

the sp15 also plays 78s and has amazing specs like their other models.

Some automatic features? Linear Tracking?

Some Linear Tracking Turntables have ’real’ arms and removable headshells which take ’real’ cartridges (many lightweight linear tt’s have small arms with P mount cartridges. My garage/shot turntable is one, Technics SL-J33).

I just found this Mitsubishi LT-22 for a friend (scroll down the page)

 

S/N 78db. LT-20 has s/n 75db

I have the vertical version, LT-5V, belt drive, the LT-30, 22, 20 are ql direct drive

No. Your turntable and cartridge are probably the strongest links in that chain.

A raspberry pi for streaming or? I don’t do much streaming so I just use my cell for that no biggie.

Elliot as much as I love vinyl I like to keep it simple. I won’t have a need for changing arms or cartridges. Something I could simply mount the 2M black to and forget would be ideal. Appreciate the suggestions.

Audphile1 I wasn't expecting to hear that take on it. Thanks. I’m curious to know your thought process on coming to that decision? The cartridge I can see being overkill but the table itself? 

Holmz it sounds pretty damn good in my opinion. Been bit with some upgraditis recently however so I'm debating on what will be the best bang for buck upgrade in my chain.
