I have had my MP-7 for a week now and wanted to share my early impressions. First, some background for those that may find it useful or you can just skip to the end. I have a Marantz PM-8006 and previously had tried 3 phono amps all $200 and under including the ifi Zen Phono and found that none...
2. The speed control or Switch was the reason I was leaning towards the Rega P6 Vs my Ultradeck. I had a switch on my Fluance RT-85 that I came from, but after only 2 miscues I have adjusting the belt incorporated into my vinyl playback routine now, and since I am doing the thumb pre-start of...
I used a thin film of the grease that was recommended in this thread and I gave it an hour but it probably was done in minutes.
Permatex 80345 White Lithium Grease
A few others have reported that if they used too much grease it wouldn't settle, so they had to remove the platter and clean off...
You had the one with the bad motor, did they repair it or send you a brand new unit? Is the motor spinning normal this time when the belt is off? Also, great records in your collection.
Besides the box there is more grams of the HRS proprietary sound dampening polymer.
Per the item description: ”Super HeavyWeight Champion literally drains groove noise away from your stylus, audibly improving clarity and impact. That's correct: Super Heavyweight Champion acts as a...
Music Direct, the packing slip has initials for who pulled the item and another set for who packaged it. Not sure if they are out of the $200 version or if it was a mistake since the item numbers are very similar, but the package is totally different the $200 version is in a carboard box and...

When I was making weekend road trips to demo TTs I always brought it. At one Hi-Fi store 3 people came up to ask what it was, it is that good. Unfortunately, the latest repress has bad reviews on Discogs for surface noise. Maybe you can pickup a NM used copy of the older version.
I ordered the Darlington Labs MP-7 this morning as I could not find a bad review or comment about them. I emailed Keith last night with some possible concerns and he responded immediately and assured me it would work with my setup and if not I could just return it. Hopefully it will be here by...
Thanks for the update. Did you ever get the Darlington Labs MP-7 to demo and if so did you use it with the UD? I read the MM-6 travels the USA thread but didn’t see an update. I am thinking of ordering the MP-7 tomorrow but sent them a question about cart compatibility since they have something...
New member here, just finished reading this entire thread. I purchased a used UltraDeck with Master tracker from Music Direct and thought I had watched every review and read every thread on them prior to my purchase, but then a friend on SHFs sent me here. I was deciding between the Studio Deck...
