Love this deck. Reading that i should upgrade the sub platter to a Groovetracer reference sub platter? Will I notice any kind of difference ? Worthwhile upgrade ?TIA

Since getting a new player in December I have picked up several great LPs used in excellent condition.  Cheap.  $7 -$12 on average from several sources 

I thought I would have picked up a new cartridge because I used my existing arm and cartridge.    

I'm glad I held off and added some great cheap records to my collection. 

Enjoy and do the same until it's time for a new cartridge and then go up a model or two. 

If you feel like you need to upgrade the turntable you just got – without living with it for a while and deciding for yourself if and what flaws it has – I have to wonder why you bought it in the first place? Seems a bit puzzling to me to spend money on something you're not entirely happy with from the start.

yesThis is an incredibly intelligent response!

@dwetteTotal disagree with your premise. I absolutely love a 95 Lynch Bages, and have a fair amount of it in my cellar. However, it doesn’t able me wonder if the 2000 or 89 vintage might be better or more enjoyable. If I’m asking  if a $300 upgrade would be a noticeable difference in my rig there is no harm or faul. Human nature to wonder if there is room for improvement in most aspects of life.
