...don't bind yourself with MMF unless you will want to keep this setup forever. You actually can't do anything with Music Hall as it's not as upgradable as VPI since it's literally built to take off the sound out of Goldring Eroica that for real isn't that great cartridge if placed onto the different turntable. I wouldn't deny that for the price MMF7 has a nice sound. VPI HW-19 is the one that is realy interesting to play with different arms, cartridges which means it's customizable to the listener and how listener wants to hear music(which is basically the whole purpouse of high-end). Some people probably will not like MMF7 and will try to upgrade but the results I'm sure will be much better with VPI or even Rega. Later-on you'll be able to sell RB600 and get simplier RB250 and modify it with Origin Live or Incognito that will literally smoke stock RB600 and even RB1000.
MMF 7 or VPI MK 2 w/ RB600
Thanks to all who responded to my "Questions - returning to analog" post.
My target budget for an 'entry level' rig is $800 used or below. I'm considering either a very lightly used MMF 7 with the stock Eroica cartridge for ~$750, or a VPI HW-19 MK 2 and Rega RB600 'arm w/o cartridge for ~$700.
I've confirmed since my last thread that my Plinius integrated will work with high output MC.
If I end up going with the VPI, was intending to match with a Dynavector 10x4, how does this compare with the less expensive, set-up MMF 7?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
