Chicago_Pete Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Bought this from fellow "good guy" forum member Chris Robinson.I honestly can't tell it from new, not a mark on it.Original packaging with all of the case candy, white gloves, etc.Chris doubled boxed it and she made a safe journey to Chicago.Came with a Goldring Eroica HO cart, an impressive combination.Guess I will be up late tonight spinning some tunes:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nola Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Congrats I bought a used MMF-5 over the summer. Yours looks nice However, keeping all settings within spec, my MMF-5 does not like warped records. My other TT, the DJ Technics 1200 M3D with an Ortofon Niteclub S cartridge and needle handle these records without a hitch. Maybe the Goldring is not supposed to have as much pressure on the stylus compared to the NC S. Also not a fan of the stock felt mat; but have not replaced it yet. I did get a thick rubber mat for the1200 from kabusa.com. I can go directly into my pre-pro or use the little red Bellari tube preamp - and can go directly into amp for 2ch listening too. Records on both my TTs sound nice. Would like to hear about your results and set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batmans Robin Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I would have restored your Thorens instead but that 's just me. Still, it would have saved you buying this because you'll want to sell it after you restore your Thorens. Unless you take 5 years to get around to it . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Batmans Robin Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Do you ever have a positive response? I really do not appreciate your commenting on the tone of my post. If you don't have anything to say of substance, just don't waste the bandwidth. Pete and I are fellow poker players and vinylheads. I was complimenting his Thorens if you need to have it spelled out for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
