The Hagerman Bugle is a good place to start, there are other phono preamps, maybe a Musical Fidelity VLPS. Don't upgrade the cartridge until you can spend more money on a better turntable. What you have is okay to learn how to do simple adjustments, but eventually you may want to spend more to get better sound. Any older vintage manual turntable will sound better than what you have, but may need some maintenance to get it up and running well. I watch Craigslist and good affordable working turntables show up occasionally. But as with anything, the better the deal, the faster they sell. There was a nice condition Thorens TD160 on Portland Craigslist a few days ago for $175, but it sold in a just a few hours. Be patient, buy some records and take it slow.

Is the Hagerman available pre-assembled anywhere?
