MMF 2.1 - next upgrade path?


I thought I was going to spend only $300 to enjoy vinyl only in a rainy day with all those surface noises. I was wrong. I ended up listening way more than that. If I knew vinyl was this good, I would have spent more to start with better turntable, at least maybe MMF 5. Anyways...

I am thinking of the next upgrade, with strong supervision by my lovely wife - there you go, budget limitation.

1. Cartridge: Grado, either used or new, within $150
2. Save some money for now, buy a new turntable sometime next year
3. Separate phono stage within $150. Currently I am using built-in phono stage of Musical Fidelity A300.
4. Any more ideas?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Advice - Keep your present cartridge. The cartridge you have in your arm now is probably better, and certainly less troublesome than what you are considering.
Your present phono stage is fine for now too. You won't get anything appreciably better for $150.
Enjoy your turntable, and save your money for something a good step better next year.
