Starting out

I am getting a TT fund started. So far it's at $250. I upgraded my speakers,pre amp,and cables this year and do not wish to write a check for a TT. This weekend I have been going through the house looking for sale items! We will see what happens. My 2 channel system: Dedicated outlet,Anthem amp.2SE,Musical Fidelity 3.2 pre.,Sony DVP9000ES,and Dynaudio contour 3.0. At what point would I pass up the 9000es. The Dyns are just incredible speakers,the detail blows me away. Music Direct is close by and I stop in often. They really like the vpi scout. I am looking at the mmf7. I plan on keeping this systems kind of simple. I'll keep saving for now.

If you have limited funds, you might do better putting all your capital into the TT/arm/cartridge rather than buying a lower quality source + a cleaning machine. Records can be washed pretty effectively by hand and the tools cost far less than a machine. My whole manual washing setup cost under $100. I'm not saying a RCM wouldn't be better, just that I wouldn't downgrade my source to get one.

You have to wash somehow. If you're willing to wash by hand buy the best source you can afford now and plan on getting a RCM later.

Tim,

I bet you will be happy with the MMF 7 for a while. Match it with a decent tube phono stage and you will get a great deal of enjoyment from it.

Also, get some Mobile One in that bearing cup and don't worry about it dripping out from underneath. Just put a paper towel under the middle.
