I have a buddy who is trying to get me to buy his turntable. Ive never owned one before and am a total noob when it comes to vinyl. I have heard some high end stuff at meets and always liked the smooth sound, so have been curious. Here is what he is trying to sell me:
Music Hall mmf-2.3le
Music Hall Acri-Plat Acrylic Platter
NAGAOKA MM (MP) Cartridge MP-110
$400
Is this a good deal? Can I find anything on the new/used market that competes at this price, considering his upgraded platter and cartridge?
Also, Im not sure what flavor this will add to my setup. Ive heard it on his speakers and it sounds great, but his listening room and steup is totally different from mine.
My current go-to "reference" system is a pair of Etymotic ER-4SR, JDS Labs ODAC/AMP combo, and lossless music collection... I prefer my sound to be dry and neutral, clinical scientific laboratory type sound, with maybe a slight rolloff in the highs, and ruler flat bass that goes deep with no midbass emphasis... Small soundstage with pinpoint accurate imaging.
