| Upgrading Music Hall 2.2 tone arm. Hi, Gerald,The mmf-2.2 better than a Linn? You should post that over at the Vinyl Asylum. Might be an interesting (and lively) response!Tom | |
| Upgrading Music Hall 2.2 tone arm. While the mmf-2 has evolved into a relatively decent turntable for the money, I wouldn't put more money into it. I doubt it could ever sound like a Linn.The Herbie's mat is a good recommendation; it made a huge difference with my mmf-2.1 (and its ... | |
| Tripods as turntable or component base? Hi, Hi,Seems that some of the posters missed your idea about using a tripod for each of the turntable base feet/points for a total of nine legs. I think it may have merit - "worth a try" - if you could find very solid and stable tripods with easil... | |
| Music Hall MMF 7.1...cartridge options? Hi, M,I think you'll really enjoy your new turntable and the Goldring 2400. The Pro-Ject arm's biggest flaw I think is the tonearm mounting post design. It's not a very good fit and subject to misalignment (off-vertical) when you adjust height for... | |
| Music Hall MMF 7.1...cartridge options? Hi, M,I've been using a mmf-7 with the Pro-Ject 9 aluminum arm for over four years and haven't gotten the upgrade bug yet. (I actually have two mmf-7 'tables.) I did upgrade cartridges though. The Eroica isn't a bad cartridge and if you can get on... | |
| MC Upgrade for Pro-Ject Debut III Hi, Jon,I run an Audio-Technica AT33PTG LOMC cartridge on a mmf-7 turntable and it sounds very good, even in comparison with a DV-20XL, which is on the other mmf-7. For about half the cost you'll have a great upgrade for the Debut III.The one caut... | |
| Upgrade turntable or buy a record cleaning machine If the turntable is the mmf-7.1 then it already comes with a decent tonearm. It's the Pro-Ject 9cc tonearm:Pro-Ject 9cc tonearmKeep the tonearm! It's one of the better features of the turntable.Tom | |
| Upgrade turntable or buy a record cleaning machine Not sure what cartridge you're using on the mmf-7.1 but unless it's something better than a Dynavector 20XL, I disagree with Audiofeil. That said, IF you're fairly serious about listening to LPs and either already have hundreds of them and/or plan... | |
| More convinced of analog than ever So how were the presentations? Anything new and interesting? I wish that I lived closer to Seattle (I'm on the "other side of the mountains") so that I could take advantage of the great opportunities afforded the Puget Sound crowd.Tom | |
| MC for MusicHall MMF2.2 "...Tracker cartridge, hence the post for a better one." If you decide to keep the mmf-2.2 (nothing wrong with having two turntables :-) then you might find a Goldring 10xx series cartridge for a reasonable price. I upgraded from the Tracker to a ... | |
| MC for MusicHall MMF2.2 Gerald, Thanks for adding some important information. I haven't seen the 2.2 myself but the arm does look like a decent Pro-Ject aluminum tonearm. It appears to be a big step up from the original arm on the 2.1, which I used for a while. I mention... | |
| MC for MusicHall MMF2.2 Not sure if Pro-Ject/Music Hall still puts a steel platter on the mmf-2.x turntables but you want to be careful about using a moving coil cartridge with a strong magnetic pull on a ferrous platter. It'll collapse the cantilever.Tom | |
| Record Clamps? The Music Hall clamp shouldn't continue spinning (and causing label wear) as you clamp it onto the record label. It's a two-piece design and the actual clamp disc shouldn't spin as you turn the locking knob down. Try bending the spring clip slight... | |
| Help Me Justify Recent MMF7 purchase I wouldn't change out the Eroica H just yet. It's not a bad cartridge and is easy to maintain. (It isn't too fussy about alignment and you can easily see the stylus for cleaning and for experimenting with cartridge alignment.) Tvad mentions he fou... | |
| Question for Jolida JD9A owners It's a good phono preamp for the money and is fairly versatile. I ran a 2.5mV HOMC cartridge through one and it sounded pretty good. I wish Jolida provided a better range of loading options for low output MC cartridges though.I'm not familiar with... |
