how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable?


You want details hah!
I bet....

CURRENT: mmf-2.2. A lemon, a complete junk in my opinion. A disaster from the start. What I can I do with it? It was delivered with missing screws, the lift arm level broke in 3 months, all I got in the name of warranty a list of things not under warranty. I don't want to criticize the brand, maybe I just got unlucky, they are otherwise great. 

What should I get for the littlest investment that would work better than this wobbly, squeaky  thing?

I bought a new Pioneer PLX1000 to add to my collection of vintage TT’s. For $699 it is competitive with the several times- as-expensive Technics TT’s. I put a Denon 103R ($340) on it. Check out Herb Reichert’s review from several years back in Stereophile.

Another plus for the PLX1000 is the included pair of high quality RCA interconnects! Way to go Pioneer!

+1 @rsf507 Mofi makes great sounding cartridges and I suspect their turntable would just be a great sounding table. Quality and sound. 



dont get a pro-ject carbon debut evo, unless  ur totally ok with rumble, motor noise, etc.  those music hall TTs are rebranded pro-ject i believe.
