If I sell Pioneer/buy Aries, hear BIG difference?


I'm contemplating 'the jump' up to an Aries TT from my faithful Pioneer 'top of the line' direct drive

The Old Pioneer has been 'souped up' with a Grado Reference Platinum cartridge and an upgraded Maestro Tonearm cable.

Question: Will the sonic difference just BLOW ME AWAY?

Another question: Will I hear a difference between an Aries/JMW 10 versus an 'extended' Aries/JMW 12.5 setup?

I agree with the above posts. However, you will not hear most of the difference if your preamp and rest of the system is not up to the same level.
Well I DID IT!

Got a used (audiogon) Aries extended w/JMW 12.5.

Still setting it up, and am waiting for Symposium Ultra platform to put it on....

Thanks, guys.
Good for you!!! You won't be disappointed. It's amazing what is really hidden in those little black grooves. Let us know how you like it when it's up and running.
