Hello friends, i am owning a thorens 240-2 turntable for few years now and using it with schiit mani phono. This turntable uses TAS-267 cartridge. I am looking for a better sound (if something like that is there) upgrade my cartridge or phono and so need suggestion from experts.
1) what cartridges can i upgrade to for this turntable.
2) what phono should i upgrade from schiit mani.
3) is it worth upgrading phono/cartridge, will it have a noticable effect if my total budget is not more than 30k. Or should i wait till i allocate higher budget for any better options.
4) what matters more? Cartridge or phono, which one should i choose to upgrade if i go ahead with one only.
Sorry for long list of questions but I am zero on turntables and dont know where to start. what kind of improvements can i expect with these upgrades, is it subtle or drastic.
Please provide expert comments. I listen to mostly hindi old bollywood/classical,instrumental songs.
