TT upgrade for me


Thinking about upgrading my Pro-ject RPM 1.  Months ago I posted on here about adding a higher end cartridge than the Sumiko Pearl but suggestions here led me to believe that would be a waste on the lowly RPM.  So I am now considering just getting a new table.  Fully Manual and no Phono stage required.

  Local dealer has these units in my price range:

VPI Clffwood
TEchnics SL-1500Pro-Ject Expression 1xRega Planer 3
Comments appreciated

Hard to go wrong with a SOTA. They have a very intelligent design philosophy of using different materials with different specific vibration control properties optimized for each location. There is no such thing as a table you can just plop down in every situation and what is under it won't matter. They can all be improved simply by putting them on a more stable vibration free base. That said, to the extent it is a concern you're probably miles ahead with a SOTA as compared to something like a lightweight Rega way over on the other end of the scale.
