Well there are a bunch of Japanese turntables under $300. I haven't heard any of them except the manual Sony at $150 (my local used vinyl shop uses one because it's cheap) and it sounded at least as good as my MMF2 and looked to be better built. I have seen the Thorens TD170 on line for under $400 and it looks OK. Every manufacturer has a lower quality limit below which they simply won't put their name on something. As I said, the MMF5 and 7 may be fine machines. My MMF 2's bearing assembly was evidence that either a. They don't know beans about how to design a platter bearing, or b. they just don't care. The error I am talking about would not have made the TT more expensive if done right. I am voting with my wallet and won't buy another product from them. Roy Hall is responsive and seems like a nice guy so this is not personal. Its simply that there are other brands out there and at $500 and up I would simply choose one of them instead.
