Thanks for all your insight and I totally agree that tubes and Vinyl marry so well, already the Music Hall MMF-5.3
https://www.musichallaudio.com/products/music-hall-mmf-5-3-turntable
is a good turntable as per most reviews as well as the Mcintosch Phono section but seems a tube preamp is needed to bring out the magic as well as a higher grade MM cartridge as in the Ortofon 2M Black or the Nakaoka MP-300 which add up to at least another grand opening to a newer money pit :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
I Think I will pass and keep enjoying DSD & FLAC audio.
Seems like your just having buyers remorse... that's a steep price tag for a turntable.

It'd pair beautifully with this

Just be sure to complete the setup with a $5000 fuse and a $15k power cord. No need to be cheap. :relaxed:

Indeed but thought it was my end play which turned out not to be :sob:

There's debate on records pressed today vs those from yesteryear's. Maybe the way the original was recorded? Analog vs Digital.
Mine are all old records Bee Gees, Abba, Chicago, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Barclay James Harvest, Midnight Oil, Alan Parsons, Pink Floyd, Moody Blues, Simon & Garfunkel, Deep Purple etc. mostly old fart's collection :ksc75smile:

Bummer
Been giving lot of thinking to buy a new turntable (Having a small treasure of vinyl discs) till I finally did bite the bullet and got the Music Hall MMF-5.3 with an Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge and plugged it into my Mcintosch amp only to discover that digital music is way better after comparing same songs playing on both medias.
Guys forget about turntables unless you would like to have a $1,200 nice piece of wood for decoration.
What you need to acquire is a Kenwood KD-500 turntable and for a tone arm, you need the best one EVER made; the Infinity "Black Widow " carbon fiber. Run this with the "needle ",lol, of your choice and I guarantee that you will hear a huge difference in your experience! Digital music SUCKS for any situamacation concerning quality audio. It's a waste of time and money! I think you should find yourself an old copy of Pink Floyd 's Wish You Were Here in album form. I had a pressing that Mobile Fidelity put out and imo; there is no equal. Oh, and then waste your money on a CD version. You do this and you will swear that you just died and went to Heaven. Sorry for the length. lol
