I think that a used Music Hall MMF 5 would be worth considering. With luck, you might find one for about $280. It is said to be quite a step up from the MMF 2.
recommendations for inexpensive turntables
I have to hook up a 16 year old with a turntable. he has no more than 280 to spend total (ie with cart and arm).
he will use it with a fisher 500c I just got him.
i know that there is a music hall mmf2.1 that I could get with a ok entry level cart for $270.
until now I have set up a couple of people with Denon dp35f's for $100 complete. but they had very little to spend so there was no option for anything new.
now with a slightly larger budget I do not want to miss getting the most for his money but I honestly have no idea if I should go with a new mmf2, or some better used player. what would a better used player be for these kinda dollars?
my experience with a Rega p3's and up and my current Aries is not helping me.
thanks very much for any guidance
