What would be a good turntable/tonearm/cartridge


What would be a good turntable/tonearm/cartridge combination for someone new to the world of analog, having been a long-time CD spinner? I have a nice high-end CJ tube based stereo CD system, and I am looking for something that is easy to set up and maintain. Thanks. -Steve

MMF-7 is an excellent table for the money. I used one for years before switching to a Scoutmaster. MMF-7 sounds great with a modest cartridge; I imagine it would be quite satisfying with a really good one. I still have the MMF-7; saving it for my second system.
open question....What's the relationship between Music Hall and Pro-Ject TTs? Are the companies related or is MH only using their carbon fiber tonearm?

LR57 - Apparantly from a post on another forum - Music Hall uses Project Tonearms.

Music Hall has diverse range of products - seems they have chosen not to get involved in the specialized world of tonearm construction

Whereas Project specializes in all things related to turntable design - they build their own

It’s not unlike those TT brands that choose Rega Tone-arms for their turntables

This does not make the Music hall any less of a turntable - their plinth design is based on some solid design concepts - it would appear they just wanted an arm that performed up to their plinth design and Project had an arm that fit the bill
