I got my MMF-5 from my local dealer here in San Diego, which should remain nameless. The advantage? It was cheap, only $300 with very low hours. A trade in. They calibrated it, and checked the stylus pressure with a digital fancy gizmo they had over there.The bad part was their arrogance and bad customer attitude. They thought they were giving away the table cheap, perhaps. I didn't even bargain the price, they set it themselves. In any case, as happy as I am with the table, they lost my business. They didn't even care I had bought my Creek 4330R from them a couple of years back.
The coup of grace happened when I bought a copy of Classic's Norah Jones album on quiex vinyl. Well it was nothing but quiet, perhaps a manufacturing defect. I went back there demanding a refund or an exchange. They tried to say I damaged the record by playing it on another table and was being dishonest!! what a bunch of crap! Finally they exchanged the record but they lost my business.
Good luck with your local dealer!
