  1. It's because BWM seems to just have a flat shipping fee per item, so it adds up quickly if you're ordering multiple items. Unlike most stores that have some system to actually estimate the actual shipping cost. For my order it was $11 shipping for four 7"s. I have noticed that BWM does seems to upgrade the shipping from media mail a lot of the time though, my last few orders have come by two-day priority, first class, or some other faster method.

     

    Shipping one 7" is always cheaper first class over media mail. I charge $3 to ship a 7", $2.25 for postage and the remainder goes to mailers, padded fillers, tape, my time. My label (me) makes no money.

     

    That being said, I will never pay over $5 for a new 7". That plus expensive shipping = I pass

  2. I found a deal for a used table that already has a Denon DL-110 on it. I'm having a difficulty finding out if this MC will work with my integrated Kenwood KA-5700 amp. The amplifier has a phono preamp, but I'm rather confused on the specifications necessary for optimum sound.

    Any help would be immensely appreciated, thanks!!

  3. I will be buying new only because financing is currently my only option.

    I found a demo stock of the Rega RP3 already fit with the Elys 2 for under $900. It's between that and the Music Hall MMF 5.1SE, which I really like because it's already fit with the Mojo cartridge.

    Sounds like the general consensus is the RP3? Especially with the cartridge already fit with a discount due to it be demo stock?

  4. Thanks for all the responses so far guys. One of my major concerns regarding the RP3 is the Elys cartridge, I've heard from a few sources that this cartridge is pretty much useless. 

     

    One thing I noticed was the SE version of the 5.1 has even better isolation and has a Mojo cartridge (Ortofon, always been a big advocate of their cartridges): http://www.needledoctor.com/Music-Hall-Turntable-MMF-5-1-SE_3

     

    Not to mention the SE is in a very similar price range
