jtubbs6117 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Guys this is something really new to me, but I am looking to find a turntable. What are you using? What do you like about the table? Back story my mother in law has about 300 records and my wife would like to keep them and listen to them from time to time. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennie Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 What's your budget? Dennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtubbs6117 Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 kinda open 500 to 1000...I know that's not a lot but I would just like to get a mid range table for now. If it turns into something we use more and more maybe something at a higher level later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebes Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 This just came up in General with the same price range. Check it out: http://community.klipsch.com/forums/t/160346.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderbender Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I just sold a VPI scout with really nice dynavector 5x cart for $1100... a bit above your budget, but that seems to be the going rate for a 9-10 condition.... Highly regarded and very well reviewed..... keep an eye open for one, got to go to about 3k to best it..... I really liked that table and only sold it to feed my obsession with upgrades LOL new a Rega plannar 3 is also awesome! and well within your budget.... I'm of the opinion of "garbage in garbage out" and it doesn't really matter how great your amps/pre/ speakers are if the front end doesn't supply them with good info..... $500 will get you a nice technics mk1200 add $200 for a nice MM cart and you have a nice tough as nails work horse that will go forever..... Make sure your Preamp/receiver has Phono in or you will need to budget for a phono preamp.... Rega has a nice "fono" unit for about $200 that will do just fine for now....

mustang guy Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Needledoctor.com has the Music Hall 5.1 with a Music Hall Magic 3 cartridge for $875. That is within your budget, and would do a fine job for you. http://www.needledoctor.com/Music-Hall-Turntable-MMF-5-1_2?sc=2&category=351 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I have a MMF5 in excellent condition that I"ll probably be selling in a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderbender Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I have a MMF5 in excellent condition that I"ll probably be selling in a bit. To the OP.... The MMF5 is an excellent table.... I've heard several and they really sing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I use a hot rodded Rega P5 I got for a few hundred dollars more than your max buy in OP. I am sure you could find a OEM P5 for just about 1k$ because the new P6 has just been released... if not, a P3/24 is within your price range. make sure to budget for cartridge... 325-425$ the only thing I am missing is the ability to play 78's... I think I might get a Lenco Soon for that duty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
