Last upgrade was a new cartridge. Before that was an arm rewire and a new counterweight. Guess what make the arm is?

Best thing I ever did. Now I listen to vinyl 95% of the time instead of the CeeDee. Thank goodness, I had almost quit listening to music. Now I listen almost daily.

I changed the bearing of my TNT!!

Upgraded head amp to Ph. D.

Replaced a very old Linn MC cartridge with a Grado Reference Sonata MM.

Now we're talking. I recently purchased the fabulous Graham 2.2 tonearm for my Clearaudio 'table. Coupled with my Koetsu Onyx cartridge and associated ancillary amp/preamp/speaker setup, music is always accuracte and healing. Thanks for the question!

Purchased the Music Hall MM7, mounted the Shure MV cartridge on it, and replaced the felt mat. I'm very pleased.

LP Gear upgraded stylus and Z Mat for the Music Hall mmf-1

New IC's and last year new bearing and platter.

Bought my first "real" table about three years ago, and am starting to get the upgrade bug. Getting into analog was one of the smartest things I've ever done.

Got a non-felt donut for my LP-12.

I assume you are referring to "tweek" upgrades and not replacement. Therefor I added a J.A.Michell counterweight to my Rega P25. What a difference. As a pesimest on counterweight improving the sound of a tonearm. I stand corrected. The J.A. Michell was a different design and I thought if a counterweight below the centerline of the arm ever made sense this design did. And this design did make the difference in all areas of the tonearms ability.

I purchased the vacuum hold-down option for my SOTA Sapphire turntable. I have been pleased enough with the SOTA that I have no desire to upgrade (unless I win the mega-lottery) although an arm and cartridge upgrade is/are not out of the real-world question.

Two months ago I bought a protractor and a Grado Gold cartridge. I'm not sure if it was the tweaking the cartridge alignment to the nth degree or the cartridge itself—hell maybe it's both—but it really improved the sound of my '77 Technics turntable that I'm using to record vinyl onto my computer to make CDs!

Heavyweight for the RB300, Ringmat for the Planar3.

I replaced my Lyra Clavis D.C. cartridge with a Clearaudio Accurate. Wow, what a difference in every way you can think!

I upgraded my turntable allright, it`s so tweaked out and futuristic that you can only play little silver discs on it.

Installed NOS Audio-Technica arm and Grado cartridge. I need an armboard. Sigh.

Not binary, not interested.

New pickup, Ortofon MC25FL. It has been spinning almost continually for years and the needle is still in good shape.

I bought a new cartridge. I also built a pneumatic suspension stand to see if it would improve the sound. It's still in place, so that's a resounding yes!

I bought a SOTA Comet and I love it.

Don't know if you can call this a turntable upgrade, but I changed from an Audioquest 7000nsx to a Graham Ruby 2 cartridge. Did go from a series 2 to a series 3 upgrade on my TNT a few years ago

Two years ago I had my Linn fully upgraded, last year I purchased a new cartridge and tone arm. Cartridges are a three to four year upgraded for me since the CD, it used to be every two to three years for a new cartridge. Not counting travel listening LP's are still about 60-70% of my listening

Still using my one-and-only Music Hall MMF-2.1. My last upgrade (more of a side-grade, if not a small step down) was replacing the original Gldring Elan cartridge, for which I had trouble finding a replacement stylus, with a Grado Prestige Gold.

I put a 4 inch slab of maple (a cutting board) under my Planar 3/RB300. It's been a great improvement. I don't subscribe to the rewire/counterweight/end stub school of colorations.

I added a threaded VTA adjuster and "finger nut" (knurled) under my Rega RB-600 on my Michell Gyrodec, both made by Michell. It is now easy to adjust VTA. Still fine-tuning, but there is a subtle but noticable improvement in the performance of my Clearaudio Virtuoso.

My "upgrade" was to go from a Linn LP-12 / ASAKA / LV II to a Rega Planar 3 / Elys.

Got the air suspension for my TNT and got it off the floor by placing it on a wall rack. Finally, I don't have to worry about my 4 year old dancing in the living room and ruining my cartridge.

Last year I bought MIT Reference phono cables for my turntable. Nirvana!(NOT the group). This year? I will probably replace my Koetsu Rosewood.
