Look for a pre-owned Technics SL1210 or SL1200GR.
They are good enough to accommodate $2K+ cartridges.
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
