As a brief testimonial, I got a Music Hall MMF-5 a couple of years ago
and it was clearly a big improvement over the cheapo Technics it
replaced. It was relatively inexpensive (about $500), came with a
reasonable cartridge, was not at all difficult to set up, and I've been
very happy with it. For what it's worth, the Music Halls are apparently
built in the same place as the Pro-Jects, and I understand they have
quite a bit in common. With the money you'd have left over, you could
easily get something that would be suitable for playing just the 78s,
which might not be a bad idea . . .

Thanks -- I appreciate all the info & advice . . .









While I personally prefer (and use) VPI turntables, there's no question that
you won't go wrong with a Rega, Project or Music Hall. That said, I'd also
suggest that for the few 78's you probably have, you wait until you can find a
fairly cheap turntable on eBay or Audiogon. It's far better to put most of
your investment into a turntable that can play the majority of your music plus
LP's you might buy in the future.
