Sold my TT, getting another

Toyota Camry to Honda Accord? Nothing could be farther from the truth. I just got the Vpi today and this thing is a beast. Maybe from a Camry to a Hummer! The MMF and Vpi are not even in the same league. How could you possibly make that comparison? This thing weighs 40lbs. The dust cover weighs more than the MMF7. Just an amazing arm. I couldn't be happier.

You're happy, I'm happy! Congrats! I used to own a VPI Jr. many moons ago. It was a very early model and I was not particularly impressed with its performance and build quality. Maybe the current model is built to a much higher standard.

Happy listening!

Congrats! Although the MMF7 and VPI Jr. are considered in the same class, I heard both and preferred the Jr. When I auditioned it, my salesman upgraded it to a MkIII right in front of me. Very interesting, easy, and what a difference! That Jr. will be a great table to upgrade--and trust me, you'll upgrade. Upgrading is good! And fun! I was impressed with what a difference going from sorbothane to springs and a more massive platter made! One caveat, the Grado MM that I heard on the MkIII did hum a little. I ended up going another direction and got a Gyro, but I think VPI makes some very nice tables. I'd take one over that MMF7, they're nice but only so much you can do with them, as you found out.

Have fun with it! :)

Yes, you may notice hum with that combo. A friend has that combo and it bothered him. He fixed it with MU metal. If you run into it, and it bugs you, swap the Grado.

Now from what I understand, this happens at the end of the record. Correct?
