How often do you upgrade turntable ?


The table itself, not arm or cartridge.

And when you do, how far do you go ? Big steps, small steps ?

I got my Nottingham Spacedeck more than ten years ago and have no intention to replace it. I would have to jump high for the upgrade to make sense. One day perhaps.

I bought an LP12 ca. 1987, after using a Thorens TD126 Mk II for some years. The LP12 fell into disrepair and wasn't used for a long time. Then I got a Rega RP3 in 2010, a Clearaudio Ovation in 2011 and a Clearaudio Innovation in 2023. On the last upgrade I got two 12" tonearms for it.

I might upgrade the Innovation to a Master Innovation this year, depending on some things I expect to happen.

@inna I graduate college and started my first job on June 15, 1982.  i bought a new system with turntable a couple of months later.

I see. That's unusual, I think, to keep a turntable for such a long time. Without perhaps adding another better one.

@inna  I never said to kept it.  I did answer the original question accurately though.

 

@inna Big step. Always ask the best looking girl in the room to dance. Buy the best you can’t afford. That way, you’ll enjoy better music longer in this finite life.

Big steps, small steps ?
