Starting out


I am getting a TT fund started. So far it's at $250. I upgraded my speakers,pre amp,and cables this year and do not wish to write a check for a TT. This weekend I have been going through the house looking for sale items! We will see what happens. My 2 channel system: Dedicated outlet,Anthem amp.2SE,Musical Fidelity 3.2 pre.,Sony DVP9000ES,and Dynaudio contour 3.0. At what point would I pass up the 9000es. The Dyns are just incredible speakers,the detail blows me away. Music Direct is close by and I stop in often. They really like the vpi scout. I am looking at the mmf7. I plan on keeping this systems kind of simple. I'll keep saving for now.

I think that you could surpass the 9000ES at about the same price point you paid for it. Maybe less.

Using good condition, clean records will go a long way toward keeping you satisfied with analog. I'd suggest putting a record cleaner in your budget.
The Music Hall is a good table. I think if you could stretch up to a Nottingham table, you'd do a little better. But I don't think you'll be putting the MMF back in the box and selling it. It's pretty good. You also might consider the Teres 135, if you can go over $2k for their lowest model and a Rega 250 arm with a decent cartridge.
