Should I upgrade my turntable?

I am actually happy with my Realisic Lab 400 with a denon Dl 160 cartridge. It is the best I have had but I really havent had a lot. Do you think one of the newer MusicHall or entry level offerings would better the sound. Supposedly the Lab 400 was the best radio shack made(and I dont know if that says alot). I have around $250 to spend if it might improve my system any. New or used dont matter to me

Save a bit more money and look for a used Pro-ject Xpression. $300 may get you one. But i found when i moved up the ladder it took more money than i thought. I went from $300 used to $900 used.

Buy a KAB Technics SL-1200 Mk.II. There's nothing close at its' price and even around the $1000 level.

The Xpression and Music Halls in comparison are a waste of money.

I have no financial interest in any of these products.

YES definitelly a used SL-1200MkII (not from a Dj)!
Maybe it's better to hold on for it, even if you have to spend $500. You will never regret it. All of it's competitors are pricier & weaker.

UNLESS.....you want to try a LENCO L78 (that fits your budget). It is an excellent toy that you can enjoy to listen & modify whenever you have the mood. I guarrantee for your satisfaction. You can't go wrong with it either.
