You have it right. TT, then arm, then cartridge. Where you go with the TT upgrade is up to you, but that is where you will get your best improvement in sound.
VPI Uprgade??
Hi,
I have a VPI Hw19 JR w/ an Audioquest PT6 tonearm with a Blue Point Cartridge. I purchased this setup used a few months ago and have enjoyed it immensely. However, I have the upgrade bug, and therein lies my question.
I know I can upgrade the Jr to MkIII or MkIV. Obviously, I can also upgrade the tonearm, and/or the cartridge. I have read in the past that the TT is the most important component sonically, followed by the tonearm, and then the cartridge.
Where is my money best spent on the upgrades?
Any and all suggestions welcomed -- even if it is "none of the above" and going with with a completely new TT setup.
Thanks for your help.
