In Reply to: RE: Glad to see Stereophile Recommended Components Back Up to 500!! (nt) posted by John Atkinson on October 02, 2016 at 07:55:05
Mr. Atkinson,
First many thanks for your proactive input on this forum. It is beyond the call of duty. My question is regarding the new Music Hall MMF 7.3 turntable in class B. The price at 1595.00 with the Ortofon Bronze is great, but it seems that the the positive review was premised on use of an upgraded Goldring Elite, at roughly 500.00 more to the cost. Wondering if the cost listed in recommended components should be higher (reflecting use of an Elite cartridge v. the Bronze), or whether it truly is class B with the Ortofon Bronze, and even higher Class B with the Elite cartridge. I am considering a new turntable in this price range and clarification would be welcome. Thanks again.

regardless of what cartridge was used.

Thanks for the clarification, that helps.
Geesh, John. Why do you submit yourself to this crap?! I love the mag, I love the editors, and I even love looking thru the ads. Nobody makes you read the magazine people, If you don't like it, go elsewhere!

I do feel I should respond to legitimate questions.

John.......you are one of the most honest guys in all of high end audio and you always answer in a gentlemanly fashion. Trump could learn a great deal from a guy like you.
