Thanks for your welcome Brian on the 'Welcome Newcomers' thread. As I mentioned there, I'd like some advice on how to improve a Pro-ject P 1.2 turntable without spending too much money. Besides getting better amplification (and I've ordered a Croft pre- and power-amp) or replacing the turntable, my guess is that a new cartridge would be the next step. Presently it's fitted with the original cartridge/stylus, an Ortofon OMB 10. It plays well but could always be better. There's some rumble and I have no idea whether a cartridge could help this or if this is more related to the turntable mechanism itself. Is it worth upgrading the cartridge? Suggestions anyone? Cheers, Iain
