I too recommend the Clearaudio. Back in October I bought a Clearaudio Performance DC Wood with the Tracer tonearm. I absolutely love it. It was a huge step up from the VPI HW19 II with Eminent Technology air bearing tonearm that I had used for the last thirty plus years.
Upgrade Cart/Subplatter on Rega Planar 2 or Step up to Clearaudio Concept
Debating a turntable upgrade (currently Rega Planar 2 with Bias 2 Cart) and ROI of me either doing a subplatter upgrade (Groovetracer) and Cart Upgrade (Hana EL, SL or Dynavector 10 x5) vs. purchasing a Clearaudio Concept with Satisfy or Satisfy Carbon tone arm with either CA MC or Hana SL.
Is it worth $3000-$4000 investment and better for me to sell my Planar 2 or dump $750-$1500 into upgrades. Curious on opinions. Havent been able to demo tables side by side. Either way moving to MC I would have to get a separate MC phono stage. Currently use the built in phono stage on the MF M5si.
Also open to suggestions as well as Phono Stage suggestions with either scenario.
