An ideal upgrade from Project Essential in future?

[seasonsdownfall]

Hi guys,

Have and loved owning Project Essential turntable for almost a year and a half now, was just after advice on what an ideal upgrade would be in the future? Cannot knock project essential at all, but there's obviously always room for improvement in this market!

My budget would be around £500.

Thanks.

To add:

Since buying my new hi fi, only this year, none of the records that used to skip on my old stereo seem to anymore? Am i imagining this, as i can't see upgrading hi fi would change the record skipping? The majority of my records are in VG condition, many Mint too...

When you say "new hifi" does that include the turntable? Or did you re-arrange the layout and move the turntable in the process?

No, I used to have the project turntable set up via an Aux out in a compact stereo... Just recently got an amplifier, with phono built in, new speakers etc.

Ok, so did you move the turntable when you set up the new gear?

I see where this is going, and i feel a bit silly now... ! Yes, i did haha.

Well it's either the TT wasn't entirely level previously or it wasn't sitting on a very solid platform, something like that.

Don't say things like that. It makes me sad to think of all those badly sited/supported turntables out there.

Why would anyone do it? Why?

Well it's on exactly the same platform now, I.e my living room floor, and on the same unit, which is level...

I've got more sense than that, thanks anyway for your helpful comment chebby...

I thought you might be implying something else, anyway.
