how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable?

So I had to compare it, I am an audiophile on some level (nowhere near the level of the folks here) after all. It’s not a fair comparison, I got a a Rega P3. Three times (3X) the price. I can say I grew very comfortable and happy with the Fluanc...
