@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.
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?

@slaw My house is pretty small, and the Stereo and home theater are all in the living room. I have had family living with me and as they move out, I am hoping to have a listening room where the Animals are not allowed. |
@elliottbnewcombjr My house was built in 1969. The subfloor needs to be reinforced. But the floors can be like trampolines. My current TT was less than $600, and I do want a bit more control over the arm. I want to move to a better cartridge. Spending $800-$100 for a $600 TT seems off balance. I think a better Cart would just show the flaws of everything. Including the floors |
@dwette I am sure that costs more than my whole house. |
