Upgrading Turntable suggestions

Why are you feeling the need to upgrade?

Dear @polkalover: I think that you do not to change your TT to really improve the quality level performance on your system. 

I think the best " road " to achieve that is a change in cartridge and phono stage for better units.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

The LAST table you’ll ever buy because the way it sounds AND looks!

J A Michell Gyro SE... $2750 and Techno Arm $1200... Plus ?? Dyanavector 20x2?? $950. And there it is!! Audio bliss. for 5k. This table/arm hits all the right notes...Build quality is stellar, sound is dynamic, expressive, musical and has a liveliness and musical drive not heard in many tables.

This is a reference table that can be completely upgraded, (so your not stuck in the same spot) with different tone arms (thats how you change phono cables) and power supply, platter, motors, ect... this table is fun and easy  to setup and a joy to listen too!

Your welcome,

P.S. Call needledoctor.com they know these tables well. maybe they have a demo?

Buying from a real good turntable retailer, who is an expert at set-up, may be more important than which table/arm/cartridge one selects. If you are anywhere in S. California (or even if you don't mind buying long-distance), Brian Berdan at Audio Elements in Pasadena is just such a retailer. I would give him a call. He was trained by his Dad, world-renown tt set-up man Brooks Berdan. Bill Johnson of ARC had Brooks come out to his winter home in Palm Desert to set his up, and all Brooks' knowledge and wisdom was passed on to Brian. He's REALLY good.

Learning to set up your own turntable is fun and rewarding. If you let some guru set it up...what fun or how rewarding is that??

Hes REALLY inexpensive too ill bet! ROFL.
