Is it worth upgrading my current turntable setup?


Hello all here is my current system

Pioneer PLX-1000 turntable w/ Ortofon 2M Black cartridge

Tokyo Sound PE 100SE phono stage

Aric Audio Unlimited tube preamp

Odyssey Audio Khartago SE amplifier

Divine Acoustics Proxima 3 speakers

Do you think the turntable is holding back the rest of the system? Thanks for any advice!

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 😆

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.
