What is a good TT upgrade for me?

Posted by dandaroy on July 23, 2020 at 19:36:12:
What is the minimum I need to spend up to have a decent improvement. I am mostly concerned about the natural presentation of the music. I recently got a Hana SL cart which I like a lot, so I would like to use that cart on a different TT. I do not need a platform to upgrade tonearm, platter, etc. because I am not a tweaker. I am a set it and use it kind of guy. Also I am 50-50 invested in vinyl and digital and hence do not want to go overboard.
The ones that have been suggested by a local audio store are:
1. Feickert Volare
2. EAT C-Sharp
3. Mofi Ultradeck (I had this and had a problem with noise from power switch)
4. Project RPM 10
5. Project Xtension 9
I am willing to drop up to $2.5k, but I do not know about another 1 - 1.5k. Also I have been searching the used market and have not found anything to my liking. Also because I am fussy, I am scared about buying used without no return option.
