Table upgrade: SOTA Comet? or ?


Looking to upgrade my turntable. Like many others, I'm playing my old vinyl more and buying new vinyl when I can afford it. Four years ago, I bought a Project RM-5.1SE with stock blue point 2 cart. For $1000, it was a nice table to get back into analog again. Now I'm thinking about a SOTA Comet, not sure this an upgrade or lateral move...? I guess the real question is can I make a sizable improvement on a $2000 budget?

Get rid of those stock tubes first thing in your phono stage that is your first upgrade. Then like others I’d go for a better cart. If you can swing it a MC will be a huge step up to better sound, something like the audio technics at-art 9 is a huge value at around $1000 new. Look around for tubes but a good source is the tube store and other similar
