If your ever going to get the most out of your LPs it will take an upgrade of your analog front end. I've owned a MMF-9 and it is a nice TT; but if you listen to 90% vinyl, a serious TT and arm is in order. Back in the analog only day I used to recommend to my friends that they spend at least half the purchase price on the front end. Most would ignore this advice and buy expensive speakers and a big amp with little left for a TT and cart. Then they would wonder why their system didn't sound as good as they thought it should. An amp and speakers will only sound as good as what is fed into them.
