Should I upgrade my turntable?


I am actually happy with my Realisic Lab 400 with a denon Dl 160 cartridge. It is the best I have had but I really havent had a lot. Do you think one of the newer MusicHall or entry level offerings would better the sound. Supposedly the Lab 400 was the best radio shack made(and I dont know if that says alot). I have around $250 to spend if it might improve my system any. New or used dont matter to me

The small but intense 'flock' of Technics fanboys are gathering around another victim. oops i mean sucker, oops i mean some know nothing who may be easily swayed by a cluster of fanboys salivating over one more ordinary TT with a crappy arm. Funny how they flock to these posts.
My opinion, if you are happy with your TT stick to it!! Spend the money on LPs!!!
I just blew Thousands on TTs but I already HAVE 6,000 LPs. between yesterday and today I bought $80. in used LPs locally.
KEEP THE TT, BUY MUSIC
Agree a separate phono stage might be a good choice if you really want to spend the money on an upgrade, instead of on music.
Orpheus10 is making up fantasy nonsense due to personal issues between him and his mother.
I actually have no opinion of any kind about your TT. I only know you say you like it.
The reason for keeping ANY equipment is if you LIKE IT. then no reason to change it. period.
When we swap stuff just to fiddle around. AND we liked what we HAD, we can wind up with something we do NOT like. So, best to keep what we have 'if we like it'.
So the ideas i gave of what to do with the money were: save it, try a different phono section. Or, just spend it on more records.
