One other point; what type of sonic improvements could I expect from a different table/arm.
Next worthwhile step from an MMF7
So last night, I was listening to my new 180g pressing of Tea for the Tillerman, an album I've listened to thousands of times on the dreaded digital disk. I was astounded at the level of detail I heard, and how many things I had never realized were there. Then I listened to Quadrophenia; never really knew how good a drummer Moon was. So now I'm thinking I'm only buying stuff on vinyl if I can find it. I've got an Apogee AD1000 and HHBCDR830 I can use to burn disks if needed. What I'm wondering is, what would be a good step up on the table/arm from the MMF7? While I drool over the TNT HRX, I doubt I could afford it. What would be a good step up that wouldn't break the bank? Rest of the chain is Benz Glider HO, CJ EV1, Rogue 66LSR, Rogue 88 amp, Martin Logan Aeons, with Audio Magic Illusion cable. Go on, go nuts!!

The type of improvements you will get from a better arm/table/cartridge are, you again hear many new things that you cannot hear now, from the bottom to the top including soundstaging, with less record noise. I don't know the price range you are considering. However as far as the arm and cartridge are concerned I would suggest the Origin Live Silver arm with a shelter 501 mkII put this on a Teres 150 http://www.teresaudio.com/t-150.html and you will be set for life, and never look back. Your Benz will work with this combo until you can afford a shelter. The front end is were you should spend you cash. You can spend a little less and get less performance, that will of course better the mm7 combo you use now, but doing it right the first time is money in the bank, and a lot less frustrating. I believe this to be the best combo for the money by a vast margin, and will probably be very close to, if not in the same class as the TNT HRX |
