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

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.

Thank you @dekay . I have seen that companies offer basic levels and those might be better than the music hall. It's clear that getting to upgradable level is significant pricewise. Happy listening.

mmf is not the worst quality but you can do better for around $800 used.

 

In light of what @dekay said, I noticed the Fluance RT85 with an ortofon blue cartridge and a 3-lb acrylic platter. A reviewer swapped in a moving coil and liked it every way. Anyone hear those or have an opinion? Thanks again for all the advice.
