Music Hall MMF-5 SE

Both are good and the comments about the Rega are true. However, if one wants a modestly priced turnkey table with cartridge it is hard to do much better than a used MMF 5. In this price range I'd have to point out a new Technics SL1200 Mk 2 can be ordered for about 400 new plus shipping with warranty; excellent turntable for the money and easy to resell with not too much loss if you retain the original packaging and keep it in good shape.

I did not find any info on the Technics table ...
Would you say it is in the same league as the Rega and the music hall?

I need to add that I will be needing a phono preamp as well. Pre amp is the Pass X1 with the Pass X250 amp.

No, the Technics 1200 is not in the same league as the Rega and Music Hall. Not by a LONG shot.

I have been reading the threads and I am still confused...
Psychicanimal you clearly state that the technics is the way to go and some of the members seem to agree yet others would say the technics is not a serious audiophile turntable. I did read the kabusa articles and it seems like a valid argument on behalf of the Technics. I am also looking at a VPI Scout that is selling on the 'gon. I could really use some advise here as I have never been into vinyl. I would like to make a decision by this weekend so I can enjoy the music!!!
