Next step in a turntable upgrade path

Dear vinyl snobs (in a good way😄), I want to keep my eyes open for an upgrade from my Music Hall mmf-2.1 with a Grado cartridge. Still keeping the price low as I don't have a huge collection (or budget). I'm looking for something better as a base, and with more of an upgrade path. Vintage is great by me, but also open to new tech. Thanks for your support! Peter

Look for a pre-owned Technics SL1210 or SL1200GR. 

They are good enough to accommodate $2K+ cartridges.

Thank you for the recommendation @helomech . Do you know about the various MK versions?

@peterf6 Avoid the 1200 Mk.x's and look at the newer 1200GR2.

Forgetting the "upgrade" path I would look into the discounted MoFi decks.

I've seen the entry level model (new) online in the $800-$1100 range.

This is assuming that this is a comfortable price range for you and that you want a new deck.
