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...

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...
