using pro-ject speed box Mk.II with MH MMF-5?
Posted: June 18, 2006 - 7:57am

in Fremer's column this month, he stated that the Mk.II speedbox could be used with both pro-ject and MH turntables. can anyone confirm this before i buy one? a few websites i went to said it only works with pro-ject TTs and i want to make sure it will work with MH. thanks, kirk

Works beautifully with my MH MMF-7. I got the same mixed messages you got before I bought mine, but the folks at Acoustic Sounds assured me that I'd have no problem and they were absolutely right. Use larger pulley for both 33 1/3 and 45 and control motor speed from box. You can trust Mikey, he wouldn't steer you wrong.

Great article on the speedbox this month. I just added one to my ProJect Debut III and it is an incredible improvement!

Isn't it great to find a low priced item which produces high level improvement! The little speed box is very high on the value scale. Amazing, isn't it, (and delightful) how inexpensively you can put together a really good analog front end. Couple that with the fine new vinyl pressings available now in nearly every genre and the world seems to make sense again.

I could not have said it better!
