I want to upgrade my Turntable to something heavier
@tablejockey I am using the Phono Stage built into PS Audio Stellar Strata MK2, at least for now. And yes, I want to learn to maintain my TT. I just don't want to learn and break something to start out. Another Phono Stage may come sometime.

@elliottbnewcombjr Once I resolved the floor noise, I went ahead and made the call. The Hana ML won't be in stock until midweek, and they will set it up and ship it to me. Which gives me time to get a larger platform in. The VPI is wider than my P...

And everyone, I ended up with the VPI Prime Turntable & JMW-10 3D Tonearm. I am also getting the Hana ML Stylus, which should be delivered in two weeks. Waiting for a new Hana to come in.

@parkergetdean I have a cat who would do that as well.

@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 ever...

@elliottbnewcombjr I do have photos of the dogs and more of the new kitten… he was thrown into the back yard with an injured leg.  I don’t know how to get pictures into a post or I would be happy to show you. They are mostly just on my phone.

@elliottbnewcombjr Okay so I understand two tonearms but why three? Stereo, Mono, 78's?  I really want something with limited upgrades, mostly because I would obsess over whether this would be better than that. I know how OCD I can become. I know...

He is a TERRIBLE counter surfer. My Dog is easily twice his size - he is a Staffy (Pocket Pit), she is a Bulldog/Grayhound mix. She had Training while he did not. I could almost leave food down, and she wouldn't touch it. She would look longinly a...

@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 ...

@dwette I am sure that costs more than my whole house.   
I want to upgrade my Turntable to something heavier
@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. Spen...

@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.

@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.

@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
