Pros and Cons of the Music Hall MMF-7

I cannot offer you a comparison. I have owned the MMF-7 with the Eroica cartridge for about 2 years. I have recently upgraded to the Graham Slee Era Gold V. I love this table. It has excellent isolation. I have verified that the speed is still accurate, the VTF is aligned and it already has a felt mat and record clamp. It is all the turntable I need. I believe that the choice of a turntable is more about the cartridge and phono stage than it is about the table itself and I am happy with the Eroica. I'm sure that there will be plenty of differing opinions on this, but you will have to trust your own ears. Good luck.

I owned an MMF 7 for a while and it does make a good introduction to vinyl playback. I'm not familiar with either cartridge mentioned. I used a Shure V15VxMR. After reading the features on the Pro-ject Xperience I would suggest you might find that table to have a few advantages. First, both table use the Project 9 arm but the Pro-ject has the 9c carbon fiber arm. The 9c also has a much simpler method for adjusting azimuth. Otherwise these tables are very close on paper. I have no idea how different they may sound.

I found the MMF 7 to be a very good entry-level table. The only thing I didn't care for about the table is how fragile the finish is. I swear looking at it puts scratches in it. After this table I moved up to a VPI scout. The MMF 7 IMO is 90 - 95 percent what the scout is performance wise.

I would consider a different cartridge. The cartridge to get depends on the phono stage and budget. The denon cartridges are worth looking at. I was never a fan of the shure.

Vinyl, It's in the GROOVE!
