This system is very close to Lugnut's--same speakers, slighly newer amps, his hand me down Waconda pre-amp. I don't have the same turntable horsepower though. My MMF-7 is a big step up from a B&O 2400 (circa 1978)though. I am very happy with the MMF-7. The CD will be upgraded with a Pioneer DV-588A DVD/SACD/CD/mp3 player in a week or so.
