Music Hall MMF-5 SE

$yanx, thanks for your response. I had the opportunity to listen to the technics last night and upon asking the owner, I was told its the best there is and a workhorse. I am leaning toward the Scout at this point and will probably purchase today.

Okay I just picked up the VPI Scout from Quest For Sound and I must say that Stephen is great to deal with. Here is a retailer who is actually HAPPY to give auditions! Some shops make you feel like you need to hand them your credit card as you walk in the door. Anyway thats an all together different story... I am setting up the Scout and I am stumped. I do not have a shure stylus gauge as this is my first turntable. Do I need to stop at this point? Any one know a dealer near north eastern PA that will have one and be open Sunday?

Stick to Steve Monte--he's five stars.

Okay, I'll bite , Steve Monte???

Steve Monte owns Quest for Sound, duh!
