Steam cleaning is absolutely better than any record machine. I have had the best record cleaning machines money can buy and a 300 dollar steam cleaner does a better job period. If anyone tells you different they never tried a steam cleaner. Of course both a RCM and steam is even better. But steam is the bang for the buck. Next buy a better arm, cart and phono. Then buy a better table. Unless this mmf-7 is a horrible table, that makes noise and cant keep a cadence. I dont know. Cheers |
I agree with the others who recommend a RCM. No matter how good or bad a TT is, a record collection needs to be cleaned properly. I've never heard the MH 7.1, but most reviews indicate that it is a good unit. You can probably enjoy it to its fullest potential with a good and inexpensive RCM (Nitty Griity) + a cartridge and tonearm upgrade if necessary. |
If the turntable is the mmf-7.1 then it already comes with a decent tonearm. It's the Pro-Ject 9cc tonearm: Pro-Ject 9cc tonearm Keep the tonearm! It's one of the better features of the turntable. Tom |
