1. An Acryl-It platter and Speed Box will make a substantial improvement. If the cartridge is the Music Hall Tracker, its replacement could also be an improvement.
2. An $800 turntable would likely only be a marginal improvement over an upgraded MMF-2.2. Add $75 and a Music Hall MMF-5.1 becomes a possibility.
3. I think you mean the lack of a phono input on the 975, so yes you would need a phono stage. The Musical Fidelity V-LPS MkII for $200 would complement your chosen equipment.
My question would be why you are listing multi-channel equipment? Is this for home theater or for music, or if for both what is the mix?
The mix is 80% music and 20% home theater applications. Since originally posting this thread I realize that a better way to go for music would be to add a preamp between the amps and the AV pre/pro and utilize the home theater bypass on the preamp. Is that the correct vocabulary?
