Thank you for your advice. It all makes sense. I was also thinking that buying a new cartridge that I can later transfer to a new turntable makes a lot of sense. Also, the mat and the acrylic platter sound like reasonable upgrades that will provide the right ROI. I will let you know how things go. Thanks again.
Effective ways to upgrade a Music Hall MMF 2.2
I am researching ways to upgrade a Music Hall MMF 2.2 and would like to get some advice.
1. Change the platter to an acrylic one.
2. Add a Soundbox - this is intended to be for automating changing the speed from 33 to 45 with a click - why are folks indicating this would improve sound quality? Confused about that aspect.
3. Changing the cartridge - how high can I go for this type of turntable and arm? Will get a different counter weight if required.
4. Should I consider changing the arm? When do these things become ineffective? I.e., what role does the table itself play in the quality of the sound?
5. I would like to upgrade my phono stage from the NAD PP2 that I have. Would a Project Tube Box make a difference?
Thoughts welcome.
