I have a vintage late 1980's Rega Planner 3. All serviced and a new RP303 arm, 24 v power supply, upgraded belt and rewired arm. New AT 540ML cartridge.
I am very happy with it and now curious about upgrades. (Or in fact whether to stop where I am and enjoy it...)
I saw the Delrin aluminium sub platter for about £200, a dedicated phono stage Rega MM MK5 for £200, the Neo power supply for £260 and a very highly rated Collaro Record mat for £99 (not sure how that makes such a difference!).
I have a phono stage in my Arcam SA20 and a quite old Rotel RQ 970BX dedicated phono stage. Both sound the same to me so I put the Rotel on ebay, for £140 but is has not sold yet.
Based on your experiences what would you go for first / best bang for the buck?
By the way the TT with those upgrades cost me £300. Very pleased.
