Newbie turntable Upgrade
So I broke my cardinal rule about not going down the Vinyl Rabbit-hole, now this Alice-in-Wonderland owns a Fluance RT85, 4,count them, FOUR phonostages (Parasound XRM, Darlington Labs, Sutherland , and a Waxwing to feed my dac) Ortofon 2M Blue, and Bronze, and a Denon DL-110 cartridge along with a bunch of decent jazz and classic rock lp's. Now the need to upgrade the turntable has risen. Looking for suggestions that doesn't exceed $2K usd.
I value your opinions.

@elliottbnewcombjr south of Vegas, and although the advantages of Technics are many, swappable Headshell as mentioned above, I have a love/hate relationship with its looks. So your suggestion about the plinth surround is worthy of some thought. Thank you. I'm still more enamored by a low profile look such as the ones presented by the Rega rp3 and up but that would curtail the swappable headshells, of which I own three. So, I'm stuck. I saw a Thorens DD on the used market yesterday that had a requisite arm. But balked when I considered the shipping danger. |
ericrhodes1 OPVlad, the Russian in Canada, with the Victor TT101 DD and Micro Seiki 505 arm truly knows how to pack and ship, I remain impressed years later, part of why I unhesitatingly recommend him. That Micro Seiki arm, the headshell fitting is azimuth adjustable, the arm height is hand release/pivot up or down/hand tighten, it's tungsten wire for VTA and Anti-skate so precisely and easily adjusted, his list of ads on Canuck Audio Mart, he's been doing this a long time. https://www.canuckaudiomart.com/userads.php?user_id=10089

Luxman, future second arm, not sure if vacuum unit is included or add one if you want, works without it of course https://ckaudio.sg/products/luxman-pd555-turntable-with-jelco-tonearm
