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?

@audphile1 I did level it. That's the only thing I got right. 

If I am supposed to play records without the cover, why didn't they come up with an easier way to take it off?

Why…is it too difficult to remove the cover? Should just slide into and out of the mounts on the back. 

It does slide but it shakes and moves the the body (slightly). I will shut up and listen now.

Send it back. Seriously. Everything you say says… used, and really poor quality. Sometimes it is just best to wait, save up and get something of quality. I recommend looking at a new Rega. Send it back. Don’t justify junk.

@ghdprentice +1. You don sound like you feel you got your money’s worth. Earlier I recommended Rega P2 set up by Upscale. You can’t go wrong there.
