Waxxy:
Like you, I had a table I was very happy with, a Nottingham Ace-Space Deck, Space arm, heavy kit and most recently a VPI SDS. The SDS made a huge impact in noise floor and timing. But then my friend decided to upgrade. I had been listening to his table in his system for about 6 years. It is a VPI TNT 6 with SME iv arm with rim drive, sds, rim and center weights, analysis plus din cable and SRA stand. At first, when he said he was going to sell it, I immediately thought my other friend, a confirmed VPI man would buy it. That was, until he told me what he would take for it, then all thought of my friend flew out the window and it (all 120 lbs of it) came home with me that day. This opened up a huge new horizon in my vinyl listening. In fact, I haven't spun a CD in over 6 months since it arrived.
My carts. are a Wilson Benesch Carbon, presently on loan to a friend; a zu 103 which is worth far more than they ask for it and a Lyra Argo i that was retipped by soundsmith.
I agree with another poster that the most effective inexpensive upgrade is to clean your records. Immediate results nearly every time. Also proper setup will yield amazing results, not just eyeball setup, but either buying or having a friend with the Feikert computer setup and a microscope. The difference was astounding and all it cost was a little wine.
Great topic.
