Music Hall MMF-2: How much can it be improved?


If a better cartridge is used (like Shure M97XE, Grado Gold, or even Shure V15-III) would the turntable perform just as good as those better cartridges would offer?
The reviews of MMF-2 here and at AudioReview.com are just so so. The weakest point seems to be its cheap arm. The motor seems to have a problem too.
Can the arm be upgraded? Replacing the mat would be any worthwhile? Should the motor be regularly oiled?
Thanks.

I would say your best bet would be to upgrade to a more expensive model such as the MMF-5 or 7 or go for a used vpi or other table of your choice and enjoy the ride.
