I have a BP-26 that is about 15 years old with a phono section. Is their an upgrade this phono section? Is it different in design than the BP-2 apart from the power supply?
Thanks

Hi Barry - no changes - "tried and true"

I can live with tried and true. Might be time to buy a new TT then :

a different cartridge will change the sound you are not happy with more than a new table

Well, I have an old Technics SL-7 Linear tracking with a P mount cartridge and what you can get in a P mount is very limited.

I have the BP-2 mm/mc along with a Rega P6 turntable with the Aria mc cartridge. It is time for you to buy a new TT. Prior to this, I did not own a TT for about 40 years although I had some 1,500 LPs. All were in mint condition so it was a good purchase for me.

There is always something better out there, but if you are happy with what you have why change.

If you are going to upgrade / change your turntable, I recommend getting something you can take home and try in your system that way you know if it’s going to work in your system / room or not. We all get the upgrade itch but do it for the right reasons.

Question for the group. As stated I have an older BP-26 with the phono section. I just bought a Technics SL-1200G and I was looking at the high out put moving coil cartridges. I know there are jumpers under the hood of the BP and the question is, do I have to move the jumper from factory for the High Output cartridge. The other question I was wondering is will the High Output over load the moving coil section of the BP.
