Yup. As was my point. But my favorite would still be the DV 10x5 (because I really prefer MC HO or LO). But I can't look in your wallet...

I don't think I want to get an MC just yet

Neat looking.  What purple vinyl jazz record is that?

Someone needs to clean up those wires lol

Nice looking setup.  Wires always look bad.

 
 
If it were me, tho', I'd get that TT up to eye level.  Too much awkward cueing and bending for this ol' boy.

My plan is to move the TT to the top as soon as I get a new stand. The one I have gets narrower at the top and my TT won't fit. I need to do something soon all this bending down to change records is getting old lol

I've had various ML speakers and I always felt they sounded a bit lean until I went Rogue/Tube.  That 15+ year old Eighty Eight amp running 40W in Triode mode replaced a 200Wpc solid state amp and I can't say I would ever go back.   I have also tried the Stereo 90 and found with my listening habits, I just didn't need the extra power.  The 88 is like the little engine that could.  The only problem is with 18 tubes from phono/pre/power the tube rolling combinations are endless.

Out of curiosity, which turntable would you guys choose between Clearaudio Concept and Music Hall MMF 9.1?

Between the two, I prefer the MMF - but that's just on aesthetics. I expect sonically, they are comparable. Speaking personally, and for my kind of budget, I'd probably get a lesser model turntable, and sink the extra money into a better cartridge.

Which one is better looking to you?  That's the one.  Here's a good looking TT front end, imho.

I had something like that way way back when on my AR/XA.  It was a DIY fluid damper made from a small horizontal paddle (about 1/4 the size of a postage stamp) affixed to my tonearm by a stiff thin vertical wire and nylon clamp not far from the pivot.  The paddle rode in a "trough" of STP. Worked quite well.   I think the documentation for it was contained in this article:  James Brinton, "Tone Arm Damping: The Overlooked Feature", High Fidelity Magazine, July 1975, pp. 45-48.  Unfortunately I don't have a copy.  It is archived for members only (I'm not) on VinylEngine http://www.vinylengine.com/turntable_forum/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=45688
 
Then there was the Discwasher Disctracker that had a tiny pneumatic damped cylinder with a non-static pad affixed to the headshell screws that rode on the record surface.
 
Over the years there have been a multitude of designs to add fluid damping to tonearms that didn't have the feature built-in.

I've never owned any Music Hall gear, personally, but I've heard a lot of complaints about Roy's customer service/support.  Clearaudio would get my vote.
