Is it worth upgrading my current turntable setup?

Spending money on analogue is nostalgia, streaming nowadays beats it by a country mile.

While I am a big streaming fan…. Particularly for the future. Typically you still must invest a bit more on streaming than on an analog end to get digital to sound better, assuming you are doing your homework and buying good synergistic components.

I have been an analog guy for fifty years and digital since the first CD player and have been upgrading all along the way. Up until the last ten years or so, digital was far behind.

Actually, I just completed another analog upgrade the other day. My analog and digital were at the same level of performance with the same character, the analog about $6K behind digital in cost. This upgrade brought cost of each side to $45K and analog now moving ahead in detail and air over digital.

Thanks for the replies. I’m underestimating my turntable from what I’m seeing here. I knew it was a Stereophile recommended component but I always saw it as a DJ table that could pass for an audiophile table. I have considered the Music Hall 7.3 as suggested here but thinking it might not be an upgrade worth it for a marginal gain.

I have some tweaks I didn’t mention. I use a Funkfirm Anchromat for a mat and spindle weight puck for securing the record down. Both made very nice improvements in sound.

Subwoofers were also suggested. I have a Rythmik F12G I didn’t include my gear list. Didn’t think it mattered. I do plan on adding another one. Mijostyn I hear ya about subs have crappy filter networks. I would love a JL Audio CR-1 crossover ($3k) but it’s a bit out my budget right now. I’m not aware of any more affordable standalone analog crossovers to use in that setup what do you suggest?

I think I’m gonna leave the turntable alone and maybe focus on the phono preamp if I must upgrade. Maybe I should just save my money but what fun is that lol 😆

OP,

phono preamp ++++1

My non $100k+ system opinion is: no. Just enjoy it. Lol.

I'd happily run a PLX-1000.  My main table is a Technics 1310, and I have no desire for upgrade.  I just like the music, man.
