Affordable TurnTable shoot-out.....


I'm looking at both the REGA Planar 25 and the Music Hall MMF-7.

Both seem to be outstanding tables, for the money.

Anyone that can offer comparisions, advice, or other tables NOT ABOVE $1200. would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to any & all responses.

I am constantly being asked by people in their twenties who don't have much money if they can get into analog for $100
to $200 in the used market.These guys want to try analog but are afraid to spend much on the stuff. If any of you read this the cheapest way in is to find a good old early 70's Pioneer or similar table like the old PL41 they weigh about 30 lbs have a decent motor ok arm and don't react
badly to a cheaper Grado use them until your ready to get your first high end table then put it in your second system or give it to a friend and pass on the analog infection. I'm in the business and I sell the MMF and Rega tables but some of the old stuff you can get used is almost as good (for next to no money) then buy more records with the money you save. Remember its about the music not just the equipment.
the basis 1400 is better for classical and light jazz.the rega p-25 is a rock-n-roll table.my type of table.
