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

Agreed, the Fluance would be a side-step for sure.

With all due respect, almost any table you look at, will be an upgrade from that Music Hall table.  I was a Music Hall dealer and didn't think much of their lower end models.

I would look for a VPI HW-19 Junior or MKIII or MKIV.  These are upgradable and still hold their own.  The new VPI Forever One model is based on this table with new, more modern and current tech, but the older HW-19 is nevertheless a WONDERFUL table.

There is a HW-19 Junior with an Audioquest PT5 arm on USAudiomart at a good price.  You can upgrade the top plate, platter, suspension, feet, etc.  It would be a major upgrade from the MMF-2.1.
