Are turntables like Rega or Pro-ject better (in quality sound vinyl ) than Audio-technica LP1240?

I would say yes, your AT, like any turntable, will improve with a better cartridge.

When I had my Pro-ject Xpression 1, which cost £200 new, I had a £130 ClearAudio cartridge fitted and it gave me an impressive uplift in sound.

Just for the record (excuse the pun) I've also owned a Ortofon red that doesn't compare with any of the Clearaudios or Goldring carts I've owned.

I will try fistly change my cartridge... VM95ml or VM540ML.. after i will study a best turnable!

Sounds like a good plan. AT cart should match well with a same make turntable.

Plus, also, if you just buy a replacement turntable they all come with entry-level cartridges, which probably won't be an improvement over your AT table. Then it's back to square one....
