TT upgrade advice?


Hello. I am looking for some advice about my current turntable. Right now I have a Pioneer PL-514 table with a Shure M97xe cart. I got it from a friend whose father has been storing it for many years. I took it apart, cleaned & lubed, set it all up & it sounds awesome. I'm officially hooked on vinyl.

Problem is though, I know vinyl can sound better. So my question is, if i only had $800-1000 to spend on a table/cart/arm, what would be ideal for that price range? Upgrade the cart & arm on my current table or start with a new one altogether?

The rest of my system is a Jolida 502B integrated amp, Jolida JD9 phono, & Klipsch RF52 speakers. Thanks for your input & advice!

I have a Denon 47F which I'd be willing to sell. I bought it in college and it has been in the original box since 1988, unused. It's in great shape, though I don't know about the Denon cartridge. If you want to inspect before a local pick up, I live in the Boston area. Thanks for the unexpected opening, Buconero. To others, sorry for the sales pitch.
