Music Hall MMF 9 compared to ?
Speaking as a current MMF7 owner, I would not advise spending $1500 on a Music Hall. Don't get me wrong, they are good sounding tables. IMO this plug and play tag does not really fit any of the Music Hall tables above and including the MMF5. I'm n...

OOPS! My mistake. I see what you mean about the mounting.YUP. I do hate when that happens! :)

Analog under 2k?
The EAR 834P will take you along way, especially if you modify it. I wouldn't make the decision about MM or MC until you decide on what arm you will have. That will dictate what cartridge you can use. Have you experienced vinyl in the past? Do you... 
Starting out
Tim,I bet you will be happy with the MMF 7 for a while. Match it with a decent tube phono stage and you will get a great deal of enjoyment from it. Also, get some Mobile One in that bearing cup and don't worry about it dripping out from underneath... 
Music Hall MMF-5 with a Rega tonearm?
I tried to find out about this as well for my MMF 7. If you do an extensive search on the Asylum I think you will find that the consensus is that it may not be worth the trouble. There is enough difference between the Project and Rega arms that it... 
Incognito rewire problem
Have you checked the continuity from the arm and table to the ground on your phono/pre?

Don't forget Clapton!"some of this generation is millionairees, I can't even keep decent clothes to wear."

I tip my hat to you for at least trying, Pbb. I will join the chorus of those suggesting a phono stage change. One with tubes would be my suggestion. I found a used EAR 834P a while back for around $600. I've had so much fun listening with this li... 
VTA - High, Low, Where You go?
I haven't figured out a way to gauge how much but I'm pretty sure I'm using pos VTA. I started with the "level to the platter" standard and just kept lifting slightly during an afternoon of listening. It seems to me that I raised the pivot up quit...

Hi Doug,I might take you up on that some day. I think you mentioned your in Conn. I pass that way once or twice a year from N.H on my way to see my son and his better half in N.J. Last time I went to see them I stopped on the way a picked up a BAT...

JyprezWet wood? Are you familiar with the moisture content of the wood before it goes through the process that Teres uses? I know I'm not. I understand from reading the Teres web pages that there is some extensive cabinet making experience at thei...

Jyprez,I live in New Hampshire, so I completely agree with your assessment of the changes in relative humidity and the effects that has on wood and furniture. However, I would say that the wooden bowl makers that you mention have a restriction of ... 
Severe Static/Slight Hum SME 20/2 w/BAT
Definitely try all of the simple things you can first. TWL's suggestion is great. I recently solved a grounding problem with my phono stage by simply plugging it in to a different AC source. In my case, it was a bad ground on one of the analog sou...
