I,ve heard the Vertere MG 1, is very good, it,s really an upgraded Roksan Xerxes 20 (same designer) but with an upgraded motor and power supply and with an acrylic look, sort of a similar flavor to a Linn Lp12. The SG1 tonearm is unipivot , if you are into that type of arm.
New Turntable Direction
It's been a long time since I sought the opinions of the community. I have been a happy Linnie for 20+ years stopping after upgrades with the Ekos, Cirkus, Lingo, and suspension. I still have my Shelter 90X. A recent upgrade inquiry resulted in approximately 6K investment in my table and this just doesn't seem to make sense considering it's age. I have considered investing the 6K in a new table and staring all over. I have initially looked at Oracle, VPI, and Basis in part because they have been around for as long as I have been doing this. For what it is worth my phono stage is still a Rhea. So what do you think new table or another Linn upgrade and if new table what brand? As always I appreciate your feedback.
