Considering upgrade from WTA Mk 2 (original owner since 2014) to 254 GTA. Looking for any reports of medium-long term owner experience or updates from some of the reviews posted here in the past.  My present WTA sets a high bar for upgrades. Thx

I moved from the original Amadeus to the 254-GT 2 years ago. No regrets whatsoever. It’s a major sonic upgrade.
 
Backgrounds are blacker allowing far more detail, the music swings better, PRAT is improved, and you get a cue lever!  The improvements are not subtle.

I use a Grado Aeon cart. Had it mommy Anadeus for 6 months prior to getting the 254-GT.

Hi GE, Whats your impression of the speed stability and W/F on the 254?
