It seems like a just the other day that I purchased my QED integrated turntable RS232 from the turntable guy, a simple device loosely cloning the Rega entry level turntables from the 80s.

Since then I have upgraded to a vm95e and amassed close to 50 LPs. The bug has bit hard, I play more vinyl than digital ar the moment.

Where to next? I am currently building a better shelf for the TT.

I have a Yamaha s501 so not the best phono stage, probably. Do I start there? Have been looking at Thorens 125mk2 with SME , how much of an improvement  will there be?

Or what about a Project Debut Carbon Evo for a new unit, Rega Rp3 with a decent upgrade path?

So confusing, I just feel if my records cost more than my TT by far I should consider an upgrade you know?  :rubhands:

Please imbue me with your experience and knowledge 🙏
