Hi all,
Having recently (Summer 2018) gotten back into LPs, I lucked out and found a Sony PS-LX22 in great condition, just needed some basic servicing and cleaning. After reading many cartridge reviews I installed a new AT95e, and set up the tracking/anti-skating per the manual and used one of the online protractor tools I downloaded. The TT works flawlessly and albums sound good. From my signature you can see my 2.1 audio system is modest but, to my ears, it is very musical.
As I have acquired more and more LPs (mostly 1950s-60s jazz), I am considering a SQ upgrade and looking for advice. The LX22 is mid-pack, at best, in the broad range of vintage TTs, so I question whether or not acquiring a high-line vintage TT (or a new TT) is worth the money. Or, would I be better served upgrading my stylus or cartridge? I am still pretty green when it comes to TTs, so any thoughts and tips would be most welcome.
