The MMF2 that I got for the demo did have a felt mat that was probably 1/8 inch thick. Was this a Ringmat, or just a mat?(excuse me, is my ignorance showing?) I would think that it may not have been since I've seen it mentioned here with a cost of $80. Tell me this piece of simple felt couldn't possibly be that much.(Great, now my cheapness is showing.) Or is this like boating..."you need a carb rebuild.. that's $300" and "you need new spark plugs... that's $300". To answer you as to what was good and bad:
Bad-- Stones - "Big hits", old London mono recording(understandable), Jonathan Richman-- "Its time for". Again somewhat understandable, not a big star or label
Talking Heads - "Speaking in Tongues" Shrill highs on 'This Must be the Place', hard to listen to, disapointing.
Good-- Joe Jackson - "Right or Wrong" 12" promo single. Bowie - "Let's Dance"(Cat People). Talking Heads "True Stories" All sounded great.
Stones - "Tattoo You". Even my 5 and 2 year olds were jamming to 'Neighbors'.
The Clash - "London Calling" This is why I rekindled my interest in LP's, not having heard this in so long.
It was a rather nostalgic weekend and I didn't even scratch the surface (hah) of my collection. I really don't mean to monopolize you guys, but would a foray into the used market be a good alternative to the MMF2?
