The urge to tinker is awash. What TT might better mine and why?

@lewm 

Thank you and I guess I should explain what I mean by "why".
Not asking why will it sound better but why might the technology of a different TT help better the SQ of my present TT.

And yes I fully realise it is all still down to personal preference but with prices of TT running many thousands above mine I am genuinely curious.

You mention dd, something like Denon DP 3000 or similar?

Belts are elastic. Stylus drag is real. ;-)

So are we saying that DD and idler drive maybe better tech than belt drive?

We are not, noromance was pulling your leg

Uber, My only "Denon" experience is with the DP80, the best they made for home use.  Second only to the DP100 and DP308, which are both megabuck items these days.  I would shoot for a DP75 or DP80, if I were you.  The cost is only a few hundred bucks more than a DP3000, if that's what you've got your eye on, and the product is better developed (since it came on the market later than the DP3000).  (DP75 is essentially the same as DP80. I used to know the difference, but I've forgotten.)  I'd also suggest Victor TT81 or TT101 or Luxman, if you can be patient enough to find any of those.
