This 2-channel stuff is sucking my money away from my interest in upgrading the HT section from 1050 to 950/7100. It appears the 950/7100 would be a good upgrade for my HT.

I went to the local Linn dealer who was pretty focused on selling what he had new. The pitch was focused on new LINN or new REGA...pick your price point. Lot's of FUD was thrown at the Music Hall which he didn't carry.

I bought a 30 day old MusicHall MMF-5 for $350 to get started...a good fit for my mid-fi system. Eventually I'll look at the MMF-7, VPI Jr, VPI Scout, and for sure a LINN.

If I can get a used LINN from a dealer tuned then I would like it. I could upgrade over time (as you can do with other brands).
