I got off the "merry go round" and bought Sugden class A and Tannoys...I have been living happily ever after since....no desire to trade up or trade in etc...to me, it sounds wonderful. My mmf-7.3 turntable (walnut) with Ortofon 2m bronze is also wonderful. Yes, not the most expensive tt out there, but it sounds great to me. I think I can live with what I got for a very long time. I spend my money nowadays on more Lp's and Cd's, even though I already own more than a reasonable amount, lol.

1. Compulsively and fanatically build the best audio system you are able to and can afford.
2. Sit back, listen to MUSIC and enjoy your system.
