Vinyl noob question:
I have an old Technics SL-D2 that I just uncovered from the depths of the parent's garage.
I will use the turn table for playback but primarily for archiving some 200 records.
The old Technics is automatic and will pick up the arm at the end of the record, whereas the MMF 2.2 is not auto (the auto isn't a deal killer, I can make sure I catch the record before its done playing.)
Assuming the 30+ year old turn table is in good condition, I would like some advice comparing the unit to the new Music Hall MMF 2.2.
I assume that the old cartridge on the Technics SL-D2 is garbage at this point and am looking to compare the pricing of a nice cartridge vs the cost of the MMF 2.2 with its included cartridge.
It seems that the MMF 2.2 uses a rebranded Goldring Elektra cartridge which I found online for $100.
I can get an MMF 2.2 for $327 shipped, new.
Any thoughts? Thanks
