Re: New turntables

Well the MMF5 has certainly receive rave reviews from the press. Unfortunately they were also quite enthusiastic about the POS MMF2 that I purchased. Sure it was "only" $300 but the construction quality looked like it should have sold for $150. It is possible to buy a budget component and still feel ripped off. I also think that many times a manufacturer's philosophy or style is consistent at both ends of the price spectrum. i.e. even a low end BMW has good driving dynamics while a high end Buick is still a softly suspended boat. If I buy a low end product from a manufacturer and it is a poorly designed overpriced junker, I would not buy another product from them. The MMF 5 and 7 may in fact be decent tables but I won't be purchasing one.
FYI: I just bought and VPI Scout and it is built like a tank.
