Turntable Upgrade

Hello, I am new here.

I am looking at upgrading my ION USB turntable:

I currently have this one:

Buy ION - Classic LP USB Conversion Turntable for Mac & PC | 3-Speed Belt Drive Turntable | USB Output to Convert Records to Digital Files | Standard RCA Outputs | Includes EZ Vinyl Converter Software. Free delivery and returns on eligible orders.

And am thinking of upgrading to this one:

Audio-Technica LP3 (Black)

Shop for Audio Technica AT-LP3 Black Turntable with Richer Sounds for expert advice and lowest prices guaranteed

Or this one: Sony PSHX500 (Black):

Sony PSHX500 (Black)

I have a Pioneer A-10 amp and Q 3010i speakers.

Any advice would be much appreciated! 🙂.

Either of these will be an upgrade from what you are currently using. If you push the cash a little further then entry level offerings from Project or Rega would be a better place to start. You already have a phono stage in the amp so do you really need one in the turntable or USB connectivity?

Thank you. I am now thinking of getting the Project Primary E.

I would definitely stretch your budget a little further and go for rega P1 or Project T1. These will give you an extra level of performance and will respond well to upgrades in the future, should you chose to .
