Why not Music Hall TT's

I used a MMF-7 for close to 18 months. This is a very good table and a real bargain if you can pick one up on the used market. Be quick 'cause they go fast. I sold mine within 8 hours of placing the ad here on Agon. It is true that there is not much you can do beyond a few tweaks to the Music Hall tables. I have heard from many MMF 7 owners that love thier tables and have no plans to change them. IMO, the MMF 9 is not worth the extra money as there is just not much difference in performance when compared to the MMF 7.

With the Rega tables you do have more options to upgrade the arm.

Love my MMF-7 and have no plans to upgrade. Goldring Eroica, felt mat, record clamp, separate power supply/motor, dustcover....hard to beat! Good luck!

I had a MMF7 and sold it and bought a VPI hw19jr. Much more musical TT. It was nearly an even swap. I did have to buy a cartridge and ended up buying a Grado Reference Sonata that was way better than the Goldring. MHO.

The parrots mention them a lot. They're good TTs for people who don't know any better...

They used to get mentioned all the time here. Mainly it's that they're not as tweak-and-mod-able as comparable Regas, Linns, and VPIs, like the others have said. They sound fine but when you want to upgrade you pretty much have to get a whole new rig. Not so with the Regas and especially old LP12s and VPIs.
