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?

@elliottbnewcombjr i found a box of stabilizing feet. I had a couple and my nephew’s dog ate one, I assumed he got both. I have placed the newly found feet and moved things around so I have removed a good 96% of the vibrations at this point I can stomp around my TT and the anti-skate weight barely swings. I really just needed the motivation to rethink the set up. Thank you for all the help. I still want a new TT. I am setting an upper limit of $4500-$5000 with cartridge. And seeing what is out there. At least you got me off my butt to solve one issue. |
I didn’t have a budget, but look what I put together for $5,600 I keep records, looks like I was drinking that day. Kidding, I quit.
It was a lot of fun, a lot of decisions, lots of help from others here, and I have it for the rest of my life. Prices were at the beginning of Covid in 2019, 2020, they are much higher now. |
