btw, what type, how solid is your floor, your surface/rack the TT is on?
My wood floors are like a trampoline, so even though my Plinth is heavy, my rack level and solid, I had to add isolation blocks below my TT’s adjustable feet
I want to upgrade my Turntable to something heavier
I am about to retire from work. I would like to upgrade my turntable before I do this. I have a Pro-Ject, which I like a lot, but I have two big dogs. I have been considering something 1) heavier and 2) balanced. I have SourcePoint 10 Speakers driven by a PS Audio Stellar Amp. The Stelkar also offers Balanced inputs.
I am leaning towards the Pro-Ject X8 as being a good price with room for a better cartridge. I have considered VPI, but I don't care about upgrading. Once I am retired, this is it. Ideas or Suggestions?

I am using balanced cables out of my phono stage into my integrated. I like balanced cables better especially for a low level phono signal between the phono stage and preamp or integrated. My integrated doesn’t even have RCA inputs. |
I have had a VPI TNT III for over 30 years, and it has been wonderful. An alternative to another turntable is a better equipment rack. I have a Mapleshade rack, and it provides a lot of isolation. Check out their website. https://shop.mapleshadestore.com/Racks-Stands_c_96.html

@thecarpathian They are heavy and jump up into a specific chair. They don't care about the wooden floors. I am hoping a heavier TT will help with some vibration |
@78sman I would consider that in addition to a TT. It might help with my current one as well. I want to move it to a room that gets less foot traffic. |
