Right just got a Project 2 Xperience SB DC turntable to go with a Onko A9010 Amp and Monitor Aodio Bronze 6 speakers to what would you say is the next upgrade to get ? was thinking of new amp but would love to hear your suggestions , have 1K to play with.....
Your source will always show the most benefit from an upgrade so I would suggest the cartridge.
If you're determined that it's the amp then try the Creek Evolution 50A.
Hi Al Ears, I was wondering what cartridge you would suggest for the Project 2 Xperience SB DC.? I bought one recently but I've got the upgrade bug again! I'm quite pleased with the Ortofon 2M Silver but I wondered what benefit I would get from an upgrade. I must admit I don't understand why some cartridges are so expensive, surely the materials used must be relatively inexpensive. However I was thinking if it does make a significant difference to the sound quality it would be worth the expense. I was thinking up to about £500 but if there is a good cheaper alternative all the better. I know from reading some of your previous posts you don't rate Ortofon that highly.
On a slightly different topic I was interested in the difference in sound when playing the same album swapping between CD and record. Obviously the CD was louder but there seemed to be better definition with the LP. That is not to say the CD was bad in some ways it sounded fuller , diffcult to explain in words. I suppose that sparked my interest in changing the cartridge as there was such a difference in the sound between CD and Turntable even more than when I changed my speakers.
