Hi everyone,
I currently own a Sony PS-HX500 USB Turntable that I'm interested in upgrading. Does anyone have any recommendations on what parts are worth replacing, or whether upgrading parts are ever worth it in the first place?
I've found a cheap "Stylus and belt" upgrade kit offered by LP Gear that has some decent reviews, but no back-to-back comparisons anywhere.
What are people's thoughts on replacing a turntable's mat to a different material too? Is it worth the difference? Or is it another one of these snake oil items that's on the market just to pocket from a hobby?
I'm not expecting a world of difference by some of these upgrades, nor am I interested in buying a higher end unit. The one I have does me well, I'd just like to get the most I can out of it....
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
