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.

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
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.

@peterf6 Thanks. You're too kind.

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. |
