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 Rosie is about 7-8. And Bower is about 3. I can resize the photos. I use Photoshop almost daily. it’s funny, when I was young, I knew a lot about turntables and amps. And the life happened for a while. And I am learning everything over. Alabama doesn’t have the old stereo shops where you could go and listen to stuff. I am lucky to have some friends who live in New York area who can help teach me all I have missed. |

I would 2nd the rack & isolation. My new platform (Butcher Block Acoustic) & their isolation feet made a notable & instant difference in my TT (VPI Signature/Fatboy arm). The rack with equipment is 400+ lbs...https://butcherblockacoustics.com/ For the turntable = lots to choose from in that price-point. Take a look at the VPI "Forever" series....10 yr warranty is nice too, not many audio products and TTs with a 10 yr warranty these days. https://www.vpiindustries.com/vpiforevermodelone
